ABSTRACT

We present a re-examination of the gradually varied flow problem for open channels. A close study of the classical study by Bresse (1860) [1] and Bakhmeteff (1912) [2] and later Chow (1955) [4] has shown that their standard computations contain some errors. The objective is to clarify this error in open channel hydrodynamics and thereby assist engineers and modelers engaged in this area of research.
