Open Channels with Nonuniform Discharge
Steady flows in an open channel with the addition of water along the course of flow are encountered frequently in engineering practice. Examples of this condition are the wash-water troughs in filters, the effluent channels around sewage-treatment tanks, and side-channel spillways. An equation based on the principle of conservation of momentum is derived in this paper. For cases in which the loss of energy because of friction is of secondary importance, solutions are obtained for prismatic channels of various cross sections and slopes. The hydraulic behavior of the flow is described with nondimensional quantities, and the validity of the theory is verified by tests on model channels.
