Study Notes
Open Channels
- Open channels depend entirely on the force of gravity to make water move.
- The main energy source in an open channel is gravity.
Comparison with Pipes
- Water velocities are usually lower in open channels compared to pipes because pipes are under pressure, which increases the flow rate.
- The main energy source to make water flow in pipes is pressure, which is different from open channels.
Advantages of Open Channels
- Open channels have several advantages, but the specific advantages are not specified.
