,1-INTRODUCTION
In this ‘short’ section we want to conclude the study of the basic
hydraulics. To this aim we will introduce the main problems related to
open channel flows.
, 1-INTRODUCTION
•What open channel flows are?
Open-channel flow is a flow of liquid (basically water) in a conduit with
a free surface i.e. a surface on which pressure is equal to the local
atmospheric pressure
•What are the analogies/differences between open channel and pipe
flows?
We’ll start by investigating uniform flows laws
