If the depth of flow is critical (y = yc), dH,/dy equals zero, and we may write

(9- 14)

Assuming CL = 1 and substituting Q = bcq leads to

Q = bc& Ycy2 (9- 15)

The experiments of Rouse (1936), and further experiments by various authors, showed
that for a confined nappe the brink section has a flow depth equal to
