 Open Channel Flow
• Liquid (water) flow with a ____free
________
surface
(interface between water and air)
• relevant for
• natural channels: rivers, streams
• engineered channels: canals, sewer
lines or culverts (partially full), storm drains
• of interest to hydraulic engineers
• location of free surface
• velocity distribution
• depth
discharge - stage (______) relationships
• optimal channel design
 Topics in Open Channel Flow
• Uniform Flow normal depth
• Discharge-Depth relationships
• Channel transitions
• Control structures (sluice gates, weirs…)
• Rapid changes in bottom elevation or cross section
• Critical, Subcritical and Supercritical Flow
• Hydraulic Jump
• Gradually Varied Flow
• Classification of flows
• Surface profiles
• Steady and Unsteady
Classification
(Temporal)
of Flows
• Steady: velocity at a given point does not change with
time
• Uniform, Gradually Varied, and Nonuniform
(Spatial)
• Uniform: velocity at a given time does not change
within a given length of a channel
• Gradually varied: gradual changes in velocity with
distance
• Laminar and Turbulent
• Laminar: flow appears to be as a movement of thin
layers on top of each other
• Turbulent: packets of liquid move in irregular paths
 Momentum and Energy
Equations
• Conservation of Energy
• “losses” due to conversion of turbulence to heat
• useful when energy losses are known or small
• ____________
Contractions
• Must account for losses if applied over long distances
• _______________________________________________
• Conservation

Momentum
equation for losses
• “losses” due to shear at the boundaries

• Method
• identify type of profile (determines whether y is + or -)
• choose y and thus yn+1
• calculate hydraulic radius and velocity at yn and yn+1
• calculate friction slope yn and yn+1

 Standard Step
• Given a depth at one location, determine the depth at a
second location
• Step size (x) must be small enough so that changes in
water depth aren’t very large. Otherwise estimates of the
friction slope and the velocity head are inaccurate
• Can solve in upstream or downstream direction
• upstream for subcritical
• downstream for supercritical
• Find a depth that satisfies the energy equation

menyempit/melebar)
• Dibangun menggunakan beton, semen, besi
• Memiliki kekasaran yang dapat ditentukan
• Analisis saluran yang telah ditentukan memberikan hasil yang relatif
akurat
Saluran Alam (Natural)
Saluran Buatan (Artificial)
 ELEMEN GEOMETRI DARI SALURAN TERBUKA

Kedalaman aliran, y jarak vertikal dari bawah saluran kepermukaan bebas

Bagian kedalaman aliran, d kedalaman aliran diukur tegak lurusbawah saluran.

Hubungan antara d dan y adalah d,y cos φ. Untuk
kebanyakan salutan buatan manusia dan saluran alami
cos φ = 1,0, danoleh karena itu Y = D. Dua istilah yang
digunakan secara bergantian.

Lebar atas, T Lebar bagian saluran di permukaan bebas.

Perimeter wetted, P Panjang antarmuka antara air dan batas saluran.

Luas aliran, A Luas tampang lintang aliran.

Kedalaman hidrolik, D D Luas aliran dibagi dengan lebar atas, D= A/T.

Hidrolik radius, R Luas aliran dibagi dengan berbasah perimeter, R= A/P.

 Kecepatan Aliran
• Kecepatan aliran (V) merupakan parameter yang penting dalam
analisis aliran atau perancangan saluran.
• Kecepatan aliran akan menentukan jenis aliran apakah termasuk
aliran:
• Laminer, transisi atau turbulen
• Subkritis, kritis, atau superkritis
 Distribusi Kecepatan Aliran
• Bergantung banyak faktor antara lain
• Bentuk saluran
• Kekasaran dinding saluran
• Debit aliran

• Kecepatan minimum terjadi di dekat dinding batas, membesar dengan

jarak menuju permukaan
• Pada saluran dengan lebar 5-10 kali kedalaman, distribusi kecepatan di
sekitar bagian tengah saluran adalah sama.
• Dalam praktek saluran dianggap sangat lebar bila lebar > 10 x kedalaman
 Pengukuran kecepatan aliran
• Menggunakan current meter
• Baling-baling yang berputar karena adanya aliran
• Menggunakan hubungan antara kecepatan sudut dan kecepatan
aliran
• Semakin banyak titik pengukuran semakin baik
• Untuk keperluan praktis kecepatan rata-rata diukur
• pada 0,6 kali kedalaman dari muka air
• rerata kecepatan pada 0,2 dan 0,8 kali kedalaman
• 0,8-0,95 kecepatan di permukaan (biasa diambil 0,85)
Kecepatan maksimum terjadi pada antara 0,75-0,95 kali kedalaman

 Geometri Saluran
• Kedalaman (y) - depth
• Ketinggian di atas datum (z) - stage
• Luas penampang A (area – cross section area)
• Keliling basah (P) – wetted perimeter
• Lebar permukaan (B) – surface perimeter
• Jari-jari hidrolis – (A/P) – rasio luas terhadap keliling
basah
• Rata-rata kedalaman hidrolis (D) – rasio luas terhadap
lebar permukaan
• Kemiringan saluran (So)

 Contoh
Hitunglah jari-jari hidraulik dari saluran dengan tampang
lintang berikut ini:

1,5 m 1,5 m 1 1,5 m

1,5

5,0 m 3,0 m 3,0 m

 Penyelesaian
a) Luas tampang A = b h = 5,0 x 1,5 = 7,5 m2
Keliling basah P = b + 2h = 5,0 + 2 x 1,5 =8 m
Jari-jari hidraulik R = A  7,5
P 8
b) Luas tampang A = [b+(b+2mh)]0,5h
= [3+(3+2x1,5x1,5)]0,5x1,5
= (5+1x1)1 = 6 m2
Keliling basah : P = b + 2h = 5,0 + 2x1= 7,8284 m
(salah) A 6,0

P 7,8284
Jari-jari hidraulis : R = = 0,7664 m
