The dynamics of open channel flows have been the subject of extensive research, particularly in understanding how entropy applies to the velocity distribution within these systems. Entropy, a measure ...

The friction factor in open channel flow is considered to increase proportionally with wall roughness compared to that of pipe flow because of undulation at the free surface. The undulation is ...

Chezy and Manning developed equations that are used to determine the average volumetric flowrate in open channels. This article explains a laboratory method that was developed and tested to further ...
