About this document
Specific Energy in Open Channel Flow by Weldon Odhiambo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses non-uniform open channel flow and the concept of specific energy. It defines specific energy as the sum of kinetic and potential energy per unit weight of flow. Specific energy diagrams are presented, showing relationships between specific energy, depth, and flow rate for subcritical, critical, and supercritical flow. Critical flow occurs at the minimum specific energy for a given flow rate and can be calculated from the equations presented.
