Accurate gradually varied flow model for water surface profile in circular channels

The paper presents an accurate approximation of the Froude number (F) for circular channels which is part of the gradually varied flow (GVF) equation. The proposed approximation is developed using optimization technique to minimize the relative error between the exact and estimated values, resulting...
