Depth y (M) Laminar Flow Subcritical Flow: Max Limit of Velocity V (M/S) For

The document discusses equations for calculating velocity limits in open channel flow. Reynold's equation is provided for calculating the velocity limit for laminar flow based on channel dimensions and properties. Fraud's equation calculates the velocity limit for sub-critical flow based on gravitational acceleration, channel depth, and cross-sectional area. A table compares the maximum velocity limits for laminar and sub-critical flow in a rectangular channel at various depth measurements between 0.1-1 meters.
