Abstract
The research of which this paper is a part comprised a study of the phenomena associated with the combining and dividing flow of water in open and closed conduits. The paper is concerned only with the open-channel problem, in which the variables involved are so numerous that only an empirical solution seems possible. The conformity of actual behavior to theory is discussed, and an empirical solution is included which may be applied to rectangular channels. For other prismatic channels or for natural streams, the flow characteristics at the junction are best determined by models controlled in an hydraulic laboratory.
