What is Open Channel Flow ?

Open-channel flow, a branch of hydraulics and fluid mechanics, is a type of liquid flow within a conduit or in channel with a free surface, known as a channel. The other type of flow within a conduit is pipe flow. These two types of flow are similar in many ways but differ in one important respect: the free surface.

How to Calculate Top Width given Section Factors?

Top Width given Section Factors calculator uses Top Width = (Wetted Surface Area of Channel^3)/(Section Factor^2) to calculate the Top Width, The Top Width given Section Factors is defined as top length measured in the direction perpendicular to the flow. Top Width is denoted by T symbol.
