open-channel flow is a type of liquid flow within a conduit with a free surface, known as a channel. The other type of flow within a conduit is pipe flow....

Flow measurement is the quantification of bulk fluid movement. Flow can be measured using devices called flowmeters in various ways. The common types...

Compressible flow (or gas dynamics) is the branch of fluid mechanics that deals with flows having significant changes in fluid density. While all flows are compressible...

within a conduit is open channel flow. These two types of flow are similar in many ways, but differ in one important aspect. Pipe flow does not have a free...

Streamflow, or channel runoff, is the flow of water in streams and other channels, and is a major element of the water cycle. It is one runoff component...

the channel is filled only up to a certain depth. Typical examples of such flows are flow in circular and Δ shaped channels. Closed conduit flow differs...

estimate one-dimensional surface water profiles in open channels with gradually varied flow under steady state conditions. It uses a combination of the...

open channel flow (flowing in a conduit that does not completely enclose the liquid). However, this equation is also used for calculation of flow variables...

Open channel spillways are dam spillways that utilize the principles of open-channel flow to convey impounded water in order to prevent dam failure. They...

Laminar flow is a flow regime characterized by high momentum diffusion and low momentum convection. When a fluid is flowing through a closed channel such...

flow meters that use the Doppler shift are called reflection or Doppler flow meters. The third type is the open-channel flow meter. Ultrasonic flow meters...

experiments is pressure-driven channel flow (see diagram). This situation exhibits an equilibrium in which there is flow only in the horizontal direction...

the actual discharge to the ideal discharge, i.e., the ratio of the mass flow rate at the discharge end of the nozzle to that of an ideal nozzle which...

is a semi-empirical resistance equation which estimates mean flow velocity in open channel conduits. The relationship was conceptualized and developed...

phenomenon in the science of hydraulics which is frequently observed in open channel flow such as rivers and spillways. When liquid at high velocity discharges...

Terms, supercritical flow is defined as follows: The flow at which depth of the channel is less than critical depth, velocity of flow is greater than critical...

anticline to a river anticline. Channel flow describes the process through which hot, viscous crustal material flows horizontally between the upper crust...

surface flow, such as occurring in rivers, canals, lakes, estuaries, and seas. Its sub-field open-channel flow studies the flow in open channels. Early...

Look up flow in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Flow may refer to: Fluid flow, the motion of a gas or liquid Flow (geomorphology), a type of mass wasting...

minimum head loss. The flow in the approach channel is contracted through a streamlined inlet into the barrel where the channel width is minimum, and then...
