where n = Manning’s roughness

coefficient R = hydraulic radius = A/PS = channel slope

Q = flow rate (cfs) = v A

Page 4: Brays Bayou

Normal depth is function of flow rate, and

geometry and slope. One usually solves for normal

depth or width given flow rate and slope information

Page 5: Brays Bayou

Normal depth implies that flow rate, velocity, depth,

bottom slope, area, top width, and roughness remain

constant within a prismatic channel as shown below

Water surface slope = Bed slope = dy/dz = dz/dx Velocity and depth remain constant with x

H = z + y + v2/2g = Total Energy

Critical Depth and Flow

Page 10: Brays Bayou

Critical depth is used to characterize channel flows -- based on addressing specific energy E = y + v2/2g :

E = y + Q2/2gA2 where Q/A = q/y and q = Q/b

Take dE/dy = (1 – q2/gy3) and set = 0. q = const

E = y + q2/2gy2

Min E Condition, q = C

Page 11: Brays Bayou

Solving dE/dy = (1 – q2/gy3) and set = 0.

For a rectangular channel bottom width b,

1. Emin = 3/2Yc for critical depth y = yc

2. yc/2 = Vc2/2g

3. yc = (Q2/gb2)1/3

Froude No. = v/(gy)1/2

We use the Froude No. to characterize critical flows

Page 12: Brays Bayou

Y vs E E = y + q2/2gy2

q = const

Page 13: Brays Bayou
Page 14: Brays Bayou

In general for any channel shape, B = top width

(Q2/g) = (A3/B) at y = yc

Finally Fr = v/(gy)1/2 = Froude No.

Fr = 1 for critical flowFr < 1 for subcritical flowFr > 1 for supercritical flow

Non-Uniform Open Channel Flow

With natural or man-made channels, the shape, size, and slope may vary along the stream length, x. In addition, velocity and flow rate may also vary with x. Non-uniform flow can be best approximated using a numerical method called the Standard Step Method.

Page 17: Brays Bayou

Non-Uniform Computations

Typically start at downstream end with known water level - yo.

Proceed upstream with calculations using new water levels as they are computed.

The limits of calculation range between normal and critical depths. In the case of mild slopes, calculations start downstream.In the case of steep slopes, calculations start upstream.

The Woodlands planners wanted to design the community to withstand a 100-year storm.

In doing this, they would attempt to minimize any changes to the existing, undeveloped floodplain as development proceeded through time.

HEC RAS or (HEC-2)is a computer model designed fornatural cross sections in natural rivers. It solves the governing equations for the standard step method, generally in a downstream to upstream direction. It can Also handle the presence of bridges, culverts, and variable roughness, flow rate, depth, and velocity.
