Question 1

What is the primary difference between open channel flow and pipe flow?

  • Open channels have pressure force
  • while pipes do not
  • Pipes have free surfaces
  • while open channels do not
  • Open channels have free surfaces
  • while pipes have pressure forces

💡 Hint: Think about what constitutes each type of flow.

Question 2

True or False: The hydraulic gradient line in open channel flow is equivalent to the free surface.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what happens at the free surface level.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a channel that allows for uniform flow. Calculate the dimensions required to maintain a constant depth of 2m with a width of 8m.

💡 Hint: Make sure to analyze forces acting to achieve uniform flow.

Question 2

A river experiences rapid changes due to a rainstorm. Describe the energy gradient line behavior during this transition.

💡 Hint: Think about how energy redistributes when flow characteristics change quickly.
