Description for Gradually-Varied Flow Profiles in Open Channels
Paperback. This book shows how to solve GVF profiles using direct integration and Gaussian hypergeometric function. Lays groundwork for computing at one sweep the GVF profiles in a series of sustaining and adverse channels, which may have horizontal slopes between them. Series: Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics. Num Pages: 202 pages, 27 black & white illustrations, 7 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 11. Weight in Grams: 320.
Gradually-varied flow (GVF) is a steady non-uniform flow in an open channel with gradual changes in its water surface elevation. The evaluation of GVF profiles under a specific flow discharge is very important in hydraulic engineering. This book proposes a novel approach to analytically solve the GVF profiles by using the direct integration and Gaussian hypergeometric function. Both normal-depth- and critical-depth-based dimensionless GVF profiles are presented. The novel approach has laid the foundation to compute at one sweep the GVF profiles in a series of sustaining and adverse channels, which may have horizontal slopes sandwiched in between them.
