Abstract

Several parabolic-shaped open channel sections are available in the literature, including quadratic and semi-cubic parabolic sections. This paper presents a three and one-third parabolic cross-section that has superior characteristics compared to those of previous parabolic-shaped sections. The section characteristics, including two approximate formulas for the wetted perimeter and a simple iterative formula for the normal water depth are presented. The exact solution for the most efficient hydraulic section is derived. The results show the width–depth ratio for the most efficient hydraulic section is 2.1273. Practical applications of the proposed most efficient hydraulic section are presented, including direct formulas for the discharge and explicit formulas of normal and critical depths. The results show that the proposed section improves the hydraulic characteristics compared with other parabolic sections and trapezoidal section.
