Standard Step Method
* Last time: Direct Step (Step-by-Step) method
— Only for a cross-sectional shape that is not changing
(e.g., rectangular up & down-stream, or trapezoidal
up & down-stream) ia
“4” means “known” and “2” means “unknown” —
¢ Standard Ste p Method does not refer to upstream/downstream
* Can be used regardless of the cross-sectional shape
+ Subcritical flow (pictured): “known section” (1) is
downstream. Work upstream (towards 2).
