Contd.
In the non-uniform flow, the Energy Line is not parallel to the bed of the channel. The study of non-uniform flow is primarily concerned with the analysis of Surface profiles and Energy Gradients.
Hydraulic characteristics of the non-uniform flow in open channels: The bed slope i, water surface gradient Jp and the hydraulic slope J are not equal, i.e. show as fig.
Sub-critical Flow: If the small surface wave can propagate upstream as well as downstream, it will lead to a backwater zone of great distances before the obstacles. This flow is called a sub-critical flow, in which the velocity of flow is less than that of the wave propagation, namely, V<C.
C- v
C+ v
Sub-critical Flow
Supercritical Flow
The small surface wave will be formed when the flow in the open channel is disturbed. If the wave can only propagate downstream, and can't propagate against the flow, the backwater zone is formed only around the obstacles. This kind of flow in open channels is called supercritical flow, in which the velocity of flow is greater than that of the wave propagation, namely, v>c.
v>C
C+ v
Supercritical Flow
Critical Flow
If the velocity of the small surface wave propagating upstream is zero, which is just the critical situation to distinct the supercritical flow and the sub-critical flow, this kind of flow is called the critical flow, namely, V=C .

z is the elevation head y is the gage pressure head V2/2g is the dynamic head Taking the datum z=0 as the bottom of the channel, the specific energy Es is

Flow is subcritical, y > yc , Fr < 1 , disturbances can propagate upstream as well as downstream Es > Emin , V > Vc : Flow is supercritical, y < yc , Fr > 1, disturbances can only propagate downstream

Multiple Choices
When the flow in open channel is supercritical flow: A. Fr>1 B. h>hc C. v<vc D.
Judgement
The specific energy must increase with the increase of water depth.
Your answer: True false
Slope dH/dx of the energy line is equal to negative of the friction slope
Substitute dV/dx back into equation from previous slide, and using definition of the Froude number gives a relationship for the rate of change of depth
This result is important. It permits classification of liquid surface profiles as a function of Fr, S0, Sf, and initial conditions. Bed slope S0 is classified as Steep : yn < yc Critical : yn = yc Mild : yn > yc Horizontal : S0 = 0 Adverse : S0 < 0 Initial depth is given a number 1 : y > yn 2 : yn < y < yc 3 : y < yc
Typical OC system involves several sections of different slopes, with transitions Overall surface profile is made up of individual profiles described on previous slides
Flow is called rapidly varied flow (RVF) if the flow depth has a large change over a short distance Sluice gates Weirs Waterfalls Abrupt changes in cross section Often characterized by significant 3D and transient effects Backflows Separations
Hydraulic Jump
Used for energy dissipation Occurs when flow transitions from supercritical to subcritical
base of spillway Steep slope to mild slope
We would like to know depth of water downstream from jump as well as the location of the jump Which equation, Energy or Momentum?
Fig. Flow under a sluice gate accelerates from subcritical to critical to supercritical and then jumps back to subcritical flow
Hydraulic jump variations: (a) jump caused by a change in channel slope, (b) submerged jump.
The illustrated channel below carries constant water discharge Q in a wide, rectangular channel of constant width B. The flow makes the transition from supercritical to subcritical through a hydraulic jump.

Momentum balance in the illustrated control volume is considered (width B out of the page).

Hydraulic Jump
Often, hydraulic jumps are avoided because they dissipate valuable energy However, in some cases, the energy must be dissipated so that it doesnt cause damage A measure of performance of a hydraulic jump is its fraction of energy dissipation, or energy dissipation ratio
Hydraulic Jump
Experimental studies indicate that hydraulic jumps can be classified into 5 categories, depending upon the upstream Fr
