Design and analysis of the support structure for an open channel flume

Open channel flumes which will be built on the ground level need a support structure to minimize the displacement at the sidewall due to the hydrostatic and dynamic pressure of water. The objectives of the study are to evaluate the pressure at the sidewall of the flume, and to design a supports stru...
