Abstract
The application of theory developed for direct integration of gradually varied flow equations to uniform and critical flow computation greatly reduces the computational effort. A small generalized subroutine is able to compute accurately the various parameters involved in the computation for all types of natural and constructed cross sections. Although the equations are implicit, in a majority of cases the number of iterations needed to achieve the required accuracy is less than 3. The method is even useful for computation by hand held calculators.
