Critical Stages-Upload

This document discusses key concepts in open channel flow including spillways, velocity of flow, velocity of waves, and critical velocity. It provides definitions of these terms and presents examples of computing critical depth, critical velocity, critical slope, rate of flow, and determining flow type using given channel parameters like depth, diameter, velocity, and Froude number. The goal is to analyze open channel flow conditions at different sections using fluid mechanics equations.

Critical Stages of Open

Channels
Spillway
a passage for surplus water from a dam.
Velocity of Flow

This is always a key criterion when designing hydraulic structures


One of the most important parameters in fluid dynamics
It measures how quickly the water flows
Velocity of Waves
Measures how quickly pressure disturbances in a fluid can travel
 

 
Critical Velocity
   
 
 

 
   
 

 
 

 
 

 
   
 

 
 

     
 

a) Compute the critical depth b) Compute the critical velocity c) Critical Slope:
