Open Channel Flow Handwritten Notes:

These handwritten notes provide a concise overview of open channel flow, covering both uniform and non-uniform flow regimes. For uniform flow, fundamental principles including Manning’s equation and the concept of critical flow are explained, emphasizing flow depth, velocity, and channel roughness. In non-uniform flow, the focus shifts to varied flow conditions where depth and velocity profiles fluctuate along the channel. Topics include energy principles, gradually varied flow, and specific energy. With illustrative diagrams and key equations, these notes serve as a comprehensive reference for understanding the dynamics of open channel flow in both uniform and non-uniform states.
