Abstract
Water‐surface profiles in a channel that includes either a contraction in channel width, or a rise in channel bottom are analyzed using the specific‐energy concept. It is discovered that the water‐surface profiles in this channel for particular flow conditions are not unique; two stable solutions and one unstable solution are found. The flow conditions leading to nonunique solutions are delineated.
