What is conveyance method of discharge measurement?

A slope-conveyance is one of the simpler methods of computing open channel flow, and it involves applying Manning's equation to a single cross-section.

What is Non-Uniform Flow?

Flow is said to be non-uniform, when there is a change in the velocity of the flow at different points in a flowing fluid, for a given time. For example, the flow of liquids under pressure through long pipelines of varying diameters is referred to as non-uniform flow.
