Overview of Open-Channel Hydraulics Sebinar Slides

Bassam Kassab, Senior Water Resources Engineer with Santa Clara Valley Water District, presents in a webinar that covers steady, uniform flow in open channels as well as nonuniform flow. Manning's equation is used to design a channel cross section or analyze its capacity. Identifying subcritical and supercritical flows is key to plotting a water surface profile, which is needed to design a channel. The hydraulic jump is also discussed.
