laboratory experiment. (CO1 – PO4)
2. Analyze and interpret the data based on obtained data. (CO2 – PO6)
THEORITICAL BACKGROUND
For uniform flow in an open channel, the Manning formula states that:

PROCEDURE/METHOD
where ,
n = Coefficient of roughness (Dimensionless)
v = Mean fluid velocity (m/s)
R = Hydraulic mean radius (m) = Flow area A / Wetted perimeter P
Where B= channel width (m)
S= Slope of energy line = sin θ = (d0 – d1)/x with x = Distance between level of
measurements (m)
d0 = Upstream depth of flow (m)
d1 = Downstream depth of flow (m)

DISCUSSION
Using the Manning equation, the coefficient of roughness for gravel beds and corrugated beds
was computed. According to online research, the roughness coefficient for gravel beds should
be higher than that for corrugated beds. Perhaps there were some mistakes when takin
the measurement of flow depth.
CONCLUSION
When both the flow depth and average flow velocity are consistent, the flow in a channel is
said to be in uniform flow. Uniform flow conditions are typically observed in long straight
lengths of channels with constant slope, constant cross section, and constant surface lining.
The coefficient of roughness can be calculated using Manning's roughness equation.
