Abstract
Solutions for choke-free flow in a trapezoidal channel, with rise in bed elevation that may occur with partial filling up of the channel bottom, are discussed. In this analysis, the side slopes of the channel are assumed to be the same before and after the transition. Considering smooth and gradual transition zones, equations of energy and continuity are solved for subcritical and supercritical upstream flow conditions to determine the maximum limiting rise in bed elevation. The ranges of the upstream flow depths are also obtained for the choke-free condition, using the continuity equation of the upstream flow.
