Types of Open Channel Flow Patterns

This document discusses types of flow in open channels. It describes flow based on two criteria: time and space. For time, it identifies steady and unsteady flow. For space, it identifies uniform, non-uniform, rapidly varied, and gradually varied flow. It then combines these criteria to describe different types of flow patterns. The document also discusses channel geometry, describing natural, artificial, and prismatic channels. It provides key terms and formulas used to describe channel features and flow characteristics.

Depth of flow does not change with time

(ii) Unsteady Flow
