Generating of Eddies According To Kennedy
Generating of Eddies According To Kennedy
Irrigation canals are constructed in alluvial soils without any lining. These
canals draw their discharges from rivers that carry sediment rolling on the
bed or held in suspension, which, obviously, is carried into the offtaking
canals. If the velocity of flow is too low, the sediment held in suspension will
settle down, whereas if the velocity is too high the water will erode the bed and
sides and carry along more sediment in suspension. A channel should thus be
designed for a velocity that will neither deposit the sediment nor scour the bed
and banks; such a velocity is known as non-scouring and non-silting velocity.

According to Kennedy, the critical velocity Vc in a channel may be defined as the mean
velocity of flow which will just keep the channel free from silting or scouring

Example 4-6: Design an irrigation channel by Kennedy’s theory to carry a
discharge of 5 cumecs. Take m = 1.0, n = 0.0225 and B/D = 4.4.
Solution:
A = BD + 0.5 D2 = D2 (B/D + 0.5)
A = D2 (B/D + 0.5) = D2 (4.4 + 0.5) = 4.9 D2
