A rectangular box culvert, 5 ft wide by 4 ft tall, with 90° headwall with 33.7° bevels, will be used to carry a flow of 180 cfs. The culvert is 150 ft long with a natural slope of 1.5%. The tailwater depth is 3.0 ft above the outlet invert. The streambed elevation at the culvert inlet is 205.0 ft, which also aligns with the upstream culvert inlet. The maximum allowable headwater elevation is 212.0 ft. Determine Whether the headwater condition is met at this design flow rate.

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.
