Abstract
A previously developed subcritical (submerged) flow analysis for open channel constrictions has been modified to provide an improved technique for computing the backwater resulting from constrictions. Application of the method to results from model studies has shown that it provides a more accurate prediction of the effects of a contraction on open channel flow than the methods currently in use. Of particular advantage is the applicability of the proposed technique to any flow condition or regime and its independence of channel slope.
