Hydraulic Calculations of Earthen Channels for Reconstruction

Abstract

All methods of designing earthen channels are conventionally divided into two groups. The first is the regime theory methods, which are devoted to determining the dynamic stability of a channel, in which equilibrium of the inflow and outflow of sediment is assumed for a certain period. The second is a method devoted to the concept of tractive force and minimal energy dissipation, to determine the static stability of a channel. Because large hydraulic and transport structures are connected to large and medium-sized canals, it is considered dangerous to build them by checking the dynamic stability of their construction [2, 39].
