Comparison of Open Channel Flow and Pipe Flow

Comparison of Open Channel Flow & Pipe Flow
1) OCF must have a free surface
2) A free surface is subject to atmospheric pressure
3) The driving force is mainly the component of gravity along the flow direction.
4) HGL is coincident with the free surface.
5) Flow area is determined by the geometry of the channel plus the level of free surface, which is likely to change along the flow direction and with as well as time.
1) No free surface in pipe flow
2) No direct atmospheric pressure, hydraulic pressure only.
3) The driving force is mainly the pressure force along the flow direction.
4) HGL is (usually) above the conduit
5) Flow area is fixed by the pipe dimensions The cross section of a pipe is usually circular..

Comparision of Open Channel Flow & Pipe Flow
6) The cross section may be of any from circular to irregular forms of natural streams, which may change along the flow direction and as well as with time.
7) Relative roughness changes with the level of free surface
8) The depth of flow, discharge and the slopes of channel bottom and of the free surface are interdependent.
6) The cross section of a pipe is usually circular
7) The relative roughness is a fixed quantity.
8) No such dependence.

In wave mechanics, the speed of propagation of a small amplitude wave is called the celerity, C.
If we disturb water, which is not moving, a disturbance wave occur, and it propagates in all directions with a celerity, C, as:

• Velocity is zero on bottom and sides of channel due to no-slip condition
the maximum velocity is usually below the free surface.
• It is usually three-dimensional flow.
• However, 1D flow approximation is usually made with good success for many practical problems.

Velocity DistributionThe velocity distribution in an open-channel flow is quite nonuniform because of :
• Nonuniform shear stress along the wetted perimeter,
• Presence of free surface on which the shear stress is zero.

Uniform Flow in Channels� Flow in open channels is classified
as being uniform or nonuniform, depending upon the depth y.
� Depth in Uniform Flow is called normal depth yn
� Uniform depth occurs when the flow depth (and thus the average flow velocity) remains constant
� Common in long straight runs� Average flow velocity is called
uniform-flow velocity V0
� Uniform depth is maintained as long as the slope, cross-section, and surface roughness of the channel remain unchanged.
� During uniform flow, the terminal velocity reached, and the head loss equals the elevation drop

� Y3-3.1587y2+4.1284=0 This polynomial has three possible solutions:
� Y(1)=2.496≈2.5 m� Y(2)=1.66 m� Y(3)=-0.996 ≈-1 m
� Negative depth is not acceptable
� But both 2.5 m and 1.66 m depths are quite possible.
� Which one will occur on the step????
� Nor Energy equation neither continuity equation will help to decide.
� Luckily, in 1912, Bakhmeteff introduced the concept ofSPECIFIC ENERGY, which is the key to even the most complex open-
channel flow phenomena.
