ABSTRACT

The results of an investigation of open channel flow in the laminar and transition range are presented. This type of flow found its application in runoff from rainfall. Values of Reynolds number were determined for different slopes in the range 10≤ 0≤ 450. It was found that the velocity of the fluid increases ar the slope of the bottom surface increases. There was a point where the laminar flow range change drastically to transitional flow range and later turbulent.
