The subject of Open Channel Hydraulics for Engineers, also called Applied Hydraulics, is a subject required not only for Hydraulic Engineering students but also for other engineering fields involved, such as Construction Engineering, Transportation Engineering and Environmental Engineering It follows the previous subject named Fluid Mechanics The knowledge of open-channel hydraulics, which is essential to the design of many hydraulic structures, has made advances by leaps and bounds The practical importance of this topic in the water resources development together with the challenge posed by the variety and complexity of its problems, has created for a long time the need for more comprehensive and detailed treatment of this subject As a result, many excellent texts have been written, not only in English, but also in other languages The best of these texts have imposed a logical and coherent structure in the study of the subject, and created a tradition that present texts consciously follow
This lecture note is prepared as a reference document for the subject It emphasizes the dynamics of the open-channel flow, by attempting to provide a complete framework of the basic equations of motion of the fluid, which are used as building blocks for the treatment of many practical problems The structure of the document, with seven chapters totally, follows a logical sequence from a description and classification of Fluid Mechanics and Open Channel Flows, as reviewed in Chapter 1
A development of the basic equation of motion for uniform flow is encountered in Chapter 2 Coming to Chapter 3, the fruitful concepts of specific energy and hydraulic jumps are introduced and developed Chapter 4 presents a variety of non-uniform flows and applications of drawing water-surface profiles Spatially-varied flow, found
at spillways and weirs is considered in Chapter 5 Transitions and energy dissipators are discussed in Chapter 6 Finally, in Chapter 7, unsteady flow in open channels is introduced generally and an introduction to the method of characteristics is presented Writing on the subject matter of this lecture note, grateful use has been made of the authoritative texts and treatises on the subject by Ven Te Chow (1973), Henderson (1966), Sergio Montes (1998) and Hubert Chanson (1999), to which frequent references were made
Developing this lecture note is part of the activities within the MHO 5/6 project This document could not have been completed without the enthusiastic support and advices
of Professor Dr Henri L Fontijn, Head of the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory of the
Faculty of Civil Engineering & Geosciences (CiTG), Delft University of Technology
He spent numerous hours of his time reading and advising on the typed texts
Special acknowledgments are due to the faculty and staff members of CiTG, CICAT, Delft University of Technology and my colleagues at CanTho University, who encouraged me in many ways
Finally, I would like to thank all my family members and friends, whose help in loving support is most gratefully acknowledged
