Lesson 11
OPEN CHANNEL
eeIntended Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the lesson, the student will be able to:
1) Explain the fundamental concepts of open channels,
including the Chezy formula, hydraulic jump, and Froude
number.
Analyze different cross-sectional shapes and determine
the most efficient sections for open channels.
Calculate key parameters, such as the sequent depths,
energy dissipation, and the Froude number, to assess the
behavior of water flow before, during, and after a
hydraulic jump.

What is a Hydraulic Jump?
A hydraulic jump is a type of shock, where the flow undergoes a sudden
transition from swift, thin (shallow) flow to tranquil, thick (deep) flow.

What causes hydraulic jumps?
The conditions for a hydraulic jump can be met where:
a. the upstream flow is supercritical
b. slope suddenly or gradually decreases downstream
c. the supercritical flow enters a confined basin
