Notes on Flow through Open Channel: Formula, Alternative Methods and Examples! Introduction to Open Channel: An open channel means a passage through which water flows with its surface freely exposed to the atmosphere. The water at its surface is at atmospheric pressure throughout. The channel may be open or may be provided with a cover or top. In case the [...]

How to Measure Flow of Water in Open Channels? | Water Engineering

The different methods available for measuring water in open channels may be grouped as: 1. Velocity-area methods, and 2. Direct discharge methods. 1. Velocity-Area Methods: In these methods the velocity of flow in the channel is measured by some means and the discharge is calculated from the velocity and the area of cross-section by using Q=AV. The common methods for [...]
