What is critical depth in open channels?

The concept of critical depth is conventionally defined in open-channel hydraulics (Chow 1959; Montes 1998; Chanson 2004) as the depth at which the specific energy reaches a minimum value, considering the mean specific energy Hm within the whole flow section inflows with parallel streamlines.

What is meant by an critical slope?

The critical slope is a key parameter occurring in the analysis of varied flow in open channels. The critical slope Sc is defined as the slope that would make the given discharge in uniform motion in a critical state.
