Open Channel Flow

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course is an introduction to the analysis of open channel flow, including energy, momentum, and flow resistance. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: energy and momentum principles in open channel flow; critical, subcritical, and supercritical flow; applications to rectangular and non-rectangular channel sections; hydraulic jump; flow resistance; uniform flow computations; non-uniform flow; longitudinal profiles; and culvert design. This course includes a mandatory tutorial section. Prerequisite(s): Admission to an Engineering program and
