Hydraulic and Hydrologic Analysis of Unsteady Flow in Prismatic Open Channel

Shape Effects and Definition of Hydraulic Radius in Manning 's Equation in Open Channel Flow

In the Manning equation the hydraulic radius can be defined as the cross-section dimension of the shape. In pipe flow the bed shear stress is assumed to be uniformly distributed along the wetted perimeter which cannot be true in open channel flow. Hence, three approximation of the true boundary shear-stress distribution are examined and more practical conveyance depth or resistance radius formu...

Unsteady air–water flow measurements in sudden open channel flows

Measurements of air–water flow properties are reasonably simple in steady flows, but not so in unsteady flows. Some studies investigated periodic flows in which instantaneous data were averaged over several cycles. During the present work, new unsteady air–water flow measurements were performed in sudden open channel flow surges. Unsteady air–water flow measurements were performed in the wave f...

the stady and analysis of rice agroclimatology in lenjan

the west of esfahan province, iran, is one of the most important agricultural areas throughout the country due to the climate variability and life-giving water of zayanderood river. rice is one of the major and economic crops in this area. the most important climatic elements in agricultural activities which should be considered include temperature, relative humidity, precipitation and wind. so...

a 2d numerical depth-averaged model for unsteady flow in open channel bends

the purpose of this paper is to present a 2d depth-averaged model for simulating and examining unsteady flow patterns in open channel bends. in particular, this paper proposes a 2d depth-averaged model that takes into account the influence of the secondary flow phenomenon through calculation of the dispersion stresses. the dispersion terms which arose from the integration of the product of the ...
