To determine whether the reach is steep, either the Froude number or a comparison of critical depth and normal depth can be used.
22.
The cusp of the above limits is reached at the critical depth, y c, where all of these values are equal to 1.
23.
""'Critical Depth " "'is a vehicular combat game made for the PlayStation, developed by the game studio SingleTrac and published by GT Interactive.
24.
The critical depth has a Froude number equal to one and corresponds to the minimum energy a flow can possess for a given discharge.
25.
The critical energy expression is demonstrated graphically by the line y _ c = 2 / 3E _ c, which connects critical depth values.
26.
Flow travelling at a depth greater than the critical depth is subcritical, and flow travelling at a depth less than the critical depth is supercritical.
27.
Flow travelling at a depth greater than the critical depth is subcritical, and flow travelling at a depth less than the critical depth is supercritical.
28.
The critical depth deepens in the spring because of the increased amount of solar radiation and the decrease in the angle it hits the earth.
29.
Another way to evaluate a sluice gate problem is to develop the dimensionless form of this diagram dividing the energy equation by the critical depth and substituting Equation:
30.
Supercritical flows correspond to any point on the momentum curve that has a depth less that the critical depth with subcritical flows having a depth greater than critical depth.
