Abstract

The theory of high-velocity flow-flow defined as shooting, rapid, or supercritical is presented comprehensively. The principles discussed find practical application in the design of all open-channel structures in which surface disturbances and standing waves appear as a consequence of the geometry of the lateral boundaries.
