Open Channel Flow

Open channel flow is a branch of fluid mechanics. It deals with the flow of fluid in an open conduit or free surface. In an open channel flow, gravity induces the flow of water whose surface is open to the air. This flow is free-falling rather than confined in rigid body conduits. The open channel flow depends upon two parameters that are the cross-section of the conduit and the velocity profile. Practical examples of open channel flow are streams, rivers, canals, and other drainage systems.In open channel flow, the cross-sectional area of at least one of the sides is exposed to air, and the surface of water faces atmospheric pressure. This flow is also known as free gravity flow. The cross-sectional area of the conduit can be either man-made or a natural channel. For instance, the flow in rivers and streams are natural conduits, and the flow in a canal and sanitary systems are man-made or engineered channels.

A horizontal venturimeter with a 100 mm diameter throat section is used to measure the volume flow rate of water at 20°C in a 200 mm pipeline. If the pressure in the pipeline at the entrance to the venturi meter is 480 kPa and the pressure in the throat of the venturi meter is measured 400 kPa, estimate the actual flowrate (Qact) in the pipe in liters per second. Assume the velocity coefficient (C) of the venturi meter as 0.98 and the contraction coefficient (CC) as 0.99. Use the density of water at 20°C from Table B.2 (998.2 kg/m³).
