Open Channel flow with pressure losses - flow depth?
In a horizontal channel that feeds off a river, does the head/pressure loss due to friction, turns etc in the channel translate to a drop in the water level between its inlet and outler? If so, could ...

Difference in flow measurements in an open channel
I'm undertaking a civil hydraulics question.
It involves the flow of water in an open channel down a river at $5m^3/s$ until the flow is split in two by a weir acting as a sluice gate allowing flow ...

Where exactly will a hydraulic jump occur?
I know that an hydraulic jump can occur only when the Froude number is higher than 1 (supercritical flow), and I am familiar with the Bélanger equation. However, I feel like I have a fundamental ...
