2 IntroductionIntroduction

Open channel flow involves the flows of a in a channel or conduit that is not completely filled. There exists a free surface between the flowing fluid (usually water) and fluid above it (usually the atmosphere). The main deriving force is the fluid weight-gravity forces the fluid to flow downhill. Under steady, fully developed flow conditions, the component if the weight force in the direction of flow is balanced by the equal and opposite shear force between the fluid and the channel surface.

3 OpenOpen ChannelChannel FlowFlow vs.vs. PipePipe FlowFlow

There can be no pressure force driving the fluid through the channel or conduit. For steady, fully developed channel flow, the pressure distribution within the fluid is merely hydrostatic.

4 ExamplesExamples ofof OpenOpen ChannelChannel FlowFlow

The natural drainage of water through the numerous creek and river systems. The flow of rainwater in the gutters of our houses. The flow in canals, drainage ditches, sewers, and gutters along roads. The flow of small rivulets, and sheets of water across fields or parking lots. The flow in the chutes of water rides.

7 ClassificationClassification ofof OpenOpen--ChannelChannel FlowFlow

For open-channel flow, the existence of a free surface allows additional types of flow. The extra freedom that allows the fluid to select its free-surface location and configuration allows important phenomena in open- channel flow that cannot occur in pipe flow. The fluid depth, y, varies with time, t, and distance along the channel, x, are used to classify open-channel flow:

8 ClassificationClassification -- TypeType II

Uniform flow (UF): The depth of flow does not vary along the channel (dy/dx=0). Nonuniform flows: ►Rapidly varying flows (RVF): The flow depth changes considerably over a relatively short distance dy/dx~1. ►Gradually varying flows (GVF): The flow depth changes slowly with distance dy/dx <<1.

9 ClassificationClassification -- TypeType IIII

R = ρVR / μ V is the average velocity of the fluid. e h Rh is the hydraulic radius of the channel.

: Re < 500. Transitional flow: Turbulent flow: Re > 12,500.

Most open-channel flows involve water (which has a fairly small ) and have relatively large characteristic lengths, it is uncommon to have laminar open-channel flows.

10 ClassificationClassification -- TypeType IIIIII

Fr = V / gl

Critical Flow: Froude number Fr =1. Subcritical Flow: Froude number Fr <1. Supercritical Flow: Froude number Fr >1.

11 SurfaceSurface WaveWave

12 SurfaceSurface WaveWave

The distinguishing feature of flows involve a free surface (as in open-channel flows) is the opportunity for the free surface to distort into various shapes. The surface of a lake or the ocean is usually distorted into ever- changing patterns associated with surface waves.

13 KindsKinds ofof SurfaceSurface WaveWave

Some of the surface waves are very high, some barely ripple the surface; some waves are very long, some are short; some are breaking wave that form white caps, others are quite smooth. Dsmall amplitude DFinite-sized solitary DContinuous sinusoidal shape

Consider a single elementary wave of small height, by δy, is produced on the surface of a channel by suddenly moving the initially stationary end wall with speed δV.

15 smallsmall amplitudeamplitude WaveWave SpeedSpeed 2/52/5

The water in the channel was stationary at the initial time, t=0. A stationary observer will observe a single wave move down the channel with a wave speed c, with no fluid motion ahead of the wave and a fluid velocity of δV behind the wave. The motion is unsteady. For a observer moving along the channel with speed c, the flow will appear steady. v v To this observer, the fluid velocity will be V = -c i on the observer’s v v right and V = (-c + δ V) i to the left of the observer.

Consider an elementary wave travelling on the surface of a fluid. If the fluid layer is stationary, the wave moves to the right with speed c relative to the fluid and stationary observer. When the fluid is flowing to the left with velocity V. DIf Vc, the wave will be washed to the left with a speed of V-c. Froude Number

When a wave is produced on the surface of a moving stream, as happens when a rock is thrown into a river. DIf V=0, the wave speeds equally in all directions. DIf Vc, no upstream communication with downstream locations. Any disturbance on the surface downstream from the observer will be washed farther downstream. Such conditions, V>c, or Fr>1, are termed supercritical.

The flowrate can remain the same for this channel even if the

upstream depth is increased. This is indicated by depths y1’ and y2’ in Fig E10.1c. To remain same flowrate, the distance between the bottom of the gate and the channel bottom must be decreased to give a smaller

flow area (y2’ < y2 ), and the upstream depth must be increased to give a bigger head (y > y ). give a bigger head (y 1’ > y1 ). 36 ExampleExample 10.110.1 SolutionSolution2/22/2

On the other hand, if the gate remains fixed so that the downstream

depth remain fixed (y2’’ = y2 ), the flowrate will increase as the upstream depth increases to y 1’’ > y1.

Open channel flows are classified as uniform depth, gradually varying or rapidly varying. If the channel bottom slope is equal to the slope of the energy line,

So=Sf, the flow depth is constant, dy/dx=0. DThe loss in potential energy of the fluid as it flows downhill is exactly balanced by the dissipation of energy through viscous effects. If the bottom slope and the energy line slope are not equal, the flow depth will vary along the channel.

Under certain conditions it is possible that the fluid depth will change very rapidly over a short length of the channel without any change in the channel configuration.

107 WeirWeir

A weir is an obstruction on a channel bottom over which the fluid must flow. Weir provides a convenient method of determining the flowrate in an open channel in terms of a single depth measurement.

108 SharpSharp--CrestedCrested WeirWeir 1/41/4

A sharp-Crested weir is essentially a vertical-edged flat plate placed across the channel. The fluid must flow across the sharp edge and drop into the pool downstream of the weir plate.

Flow conditions over a weir without a free nappe: (a) plunging nappe, (b) submerged nappe. 117 BroadBroad--CrestedCrested WeirWeir 1/31/3

A broad-crested weir is a structure in an open channel that has a horizontal crest above which the fluid pressure may be considered hydrostatic.

118 BroadBroad--CrestedCrested WeirWeir 2/32/3

Generally, these weirs are restricted to the range 0.08 < H/Lw < 0.50.

For long weir block (H/Lw < 0.08), head losses across the weir cannot be neglected.

For short weir block (H/Lw > 0.50), the streamlines of the flow over the weir are not horizontal. Apply the Bernoulli equation

V2 V2 H + P + 1 = y + P + c w 2g c w 2g If the upstream velocity head is negligible

Water flows in a rectangular channel of width b = 2 m with flowrate 3 3 between Qmin = 0.02 m /s and Qmax = 0.60 m /s. This flowrate is to be measured by using (a) a rectangular sharp-crested weir, (b) a triangular sharp-crested weir with θ=90º, or (c) a broad-crested weir. In all cases the bottom of the flow area over the weir is a

124 UnderflowUnderflow GatesGates 1/41/4

A variety of underflow gate structure is available for flowrate control at the crest of an overflow spillway, or at the entrance of an irrigation canal or river from a lake.

Three variations of underflow gates: (a) vertical gate, (b) radial gate, (c) drum gate.

125 UnderflowUnderflow GatesGates 2/42/4

The flow under the gate is said to be free outflow when the fluid issues as a jet of supercritical flow with a free surface open to the atmosphere. In such cases it is customary to write this flowrate as

q = Cda 2gy1 (35) Where q is the flowrate per unit width.

The discharge coefficient, Cd, is a function of contraction coefficient, Cc = y2/a, and the depth ration y1/a.

126 UnderflowUnderflow GatesGates 3/43/4

Typical discharge coefficients for underflow gates 127 UnderflowUnderflow GatesGates 4/44/4

The depth downstream of the gate is controlled by some downstream obstacle and the jet of water issuing from under the gate is overlaid by a mass of water that is quite turbulent.

Drowned outflow from a sluice gate. 128 ExampleExample 10.1110.11 SluiceSluice gategate

Water flows under the sluice gate shown in Fig. E10.11. The

channel width is b = 20 ft, the upstream depth is y1= 6 ft, and the gate is a = 1.0 ft off the channel bottom. Plot a graph of flowrate, Q,

as a function of y3.

(35) q = bq = baCd 2gy1 = 393Cd cfs

(Figure 10.29) Along the vertical line y1/a=6. For y3=6 ft, Cd=0

The value of Cd increases as y3/a decreases, reading a maximum of Cd=0.56 when y3/a=3.2. Thus with y3=3.2a=3.2ft Q = 393(0.56) cfs = 220 cfs

For y3 < 3.2 ft the flowrate is independent of y3, and the outflow is a free outflow.
