The manning formula can be used to calculate the flow of water in open nonfull channels and pipes without the need for a flume, weir, or other structure. At a larger depth the same discharge may be delivered through the section with a smaller velocity and a higher specific energy than a critical depth. Only if an open channel flow can somehow be adjusted to be strictly uniform, in the sense that the water surface is planar and the flow depth is the same at all cross sections along the flow figure 55, can the effect of gravity in shaping the flow be ignored.

Open chanel flow is that type of flow which is neither completely enclosed by the boundaries nor is under any external pressure but gravity.
While not a accurate as flows calculated with those structures, the manning formula is accurate enough for some applications. They involve an upper free surface exposed to a gaseous environment or vacuum and may therefore feature the propagation of waves. Natural channels are of irregular shape, varying from approximately parabolic to approx imately trapezoidal chow, 1959. Introduction to open channel flow california institute of.
