The Energy Equation and Gradually Varied Flows
Channel design work has thus far involved the mean velocity. Understanding depths in channel cross‐section, elevation, or slope transitions requires the introduction of energy concepts. Being able to account for flow depths through transition situations provides the opportunity to cost transition structures more appropriately. This chapter helps the readers to develop a relationship between velocity and depth in laminar and turbulent flows. It analyzes and aims to compute flow profiles away from various channel transitions ranging from expansions, contractions, and slope changes. The energy equation describes the conservation and dissipation of energy in the flow. HEC‐RAS provides an excellent platform for analyzing gradually varied flows via an advanced integration technique for the energy equation. HEC‐RAS is the recommended tool to analyze flows in non‐prismatic channels. Cross‐section data for natural channels in a GIS platform interface with HEC‐RAS.
