Explicit solutions for critical and normal depths in trapezoidal and parabolic open channels

Normal and critical depths are important parameters in the design of open channels and analysis of gradually varied flow. In trapezoidal and parabolic channels, the governing equations are highly nonlinear in the normal and critical flow depths and thus solution of the implicit equations involves nu...
