§ 6.2.3. Rapidly Varied Flow

Latest version.

Rapidly varied flow is characterized by abrupt changes in the water surface elevation for a constant flow. The change in elevation may become so abrupt that the flow profile is virtually broken, resulting in a state of high turbulence. Some common causes of rapidly varied flow in urban drainage systems are side-spill weirs, weirs and spillways of detention basins.
