In GVF, y and V vary slowly,
and the free surface is
stable
In contrast to uniform flow, Sf
S0. Now, flow depth
reflects the dynamic
balance between gravity,
shear force, and inertial
effects
To derive how the depth
varies with x, consider the
total head
Let’s evaluate H, total energy, as a
function of x.
Take derivative,

Review: A rectangular open channel
has bottom width (Bw) of 5 m and
a slope (S0) of 0.005. The channel
roughness is 0.030. For a flow rate
of 50m3/s, determine
1. the normal depth for the flow (yn)?
2. the critical depth for the flow (yc)?
3. the Froude number?

Review of Normal Depth & RVF
Direct step method
– The direct step method is a simple step
method applicable to prismatic channel.
– In general, a step method is characterized
by dividing the channel into short reaches
and carrying the computation step by step
from one end of the reach to the other.
Direct Step Method
– Equating the total head at the two end section 1 and 2, the
following may be written;
y1 + v²/2g + z1 = y2 + v²/2g + z2 + hL
E1 + (z1 - z2 ) = E2 + hL
E1 + so ∆x = E2 + sf ∆x
∆x (so - sf ) = E2 - E1
∆x = (E2 - E1 )/ (so - sf )
Where E1 = y1+v12/2g
Sf = n2Q2/(A2R4/3 ) = n2v2/R4/3
Sf = (Sf1+Sf2 )/2

Example
The very wide rectangular channel carry the
water at 2.5 m3/s/m with channel bed slope,
0.001 and n= 0.025.
Find the length of back water which is
happened from one dam and obtained the
2 m water depth at the dam’s back.
The calculation must from the dam to
upstream until the water surface is 1% higher
than normal depth.
Show your calculation until level 4 only.
Numerical Integration
For this method, all equation before can rewrite in
finite diference.
i. For any prismatic channel
dy = ∆y = so 1 – (Ko /K)2
dx ∆x 1- (Q2T/gA3)
∆x = ∆y 1 – (Q2T/gA3)
so 1- (Ko /K)2
∆x = ∆y 1 – (yc / y)3
so 1- (Ko /K)2
iii. For very wide rectangular channel
∆x = ∆y 1- (yc / y)3 Chezy
s 1 –(yo / y)3
s 1 – (yo / y)10/3
If the channel length (L) divide by several small
distances /lengths, it can call reach (∆x), therefore
A B α x A/B
∑∆x = L
Solution for example

Direct Step Method
In general, a step method is characterized by
dividing the channel into short reaches and
carrying the computation step by step from one
end of the reach to the other. The direct step
method is a simple step method applicable to
prismatic channel.
Equating the total head at the two end section 1
and 2, the following may be written;
y1 + v²/2g + z1 = y2 + v²/2g + z2 + hL
E1 + (z1 - z2 ) = E2 + hL
E1 + so ∆x = E2 + sf ∆x
∆x (so - sf ) = E2 - E1
Where
E = specific energy at one point = y + v²/2g
sf = slope energy grade line
