Freeboard of a rectangular concrete conduit

Freeboard of a rectangular concrete conduit

(OP)
Hello,

I am designing the freeboard of a free pipe flow in a rectangular concrete conduit. Could somebody advise me of a text book or formula that best suit the mention design?

Thanks
 

RE: Freeboard of a rectangular concrete conduit

Simply do a search in Google book and there you are. There are many good fluid mechanics books out there.  

RE: Freeboard of a rectangular concrete conduit

Substituting the radius of a circular pipe by the hydraulic radius of a noncircular cross section is one way to start.   

RE: Freeboard of a rectangular concrete conduit

vitorgazola, suggest these types of questions are better on the Storm/Flood engineering forum. A useful formula for this problem would be Manning's equation. A good useful book might be
Open Channel Hydraulics by French
Handbook of Hydraulics by Brater and King
Open Channel Hydraulics by Ven Te Chow
