Definition of Pipe flow and Open channel flow

January 14, 2013 by admin 13 Comments

Pipe flow

When a conduit or pipe is running full then it is called pipe flow.

Anything carrying liquid is a conduit or pipe.

Open channel flow

An open channel flow is one in which the stream is not completely full.

The free surface of the stream is subjected to atmospheric pressure. This type of slope is caused by the gravity component along the slope of the channel. Open channel flow is often referred to as free surface flow or gravity flow.

Examples of open channel flow are:

  1. Natural streams and rivers.
  2. Artificial canals.
  3. Severs.
  4. Tunnels and pipe lines flowing partially full.

    A flow under pressure is called pipe flow while the flow occured due gravity is open channel flow. A partial flow in pipes is an open channel flow.
