GAUCKLER : Philippe Gaspard GAUCKLER
(1826-1905) was a French engineer and member of the French 'Corps des
Ponts-et-Chaussées'. He re-analysed the experimental data of
DARCY and BAZIN (1865), and
in 1867 he presented a flow resistance formula for open channel flows
(Gauckler-Manning formula) sometimes called improperly the Manning
equation
(GAUCKLER 1867). His son was Directeur des Antiquités et des
Beaux-Arts (Director of Anquities and Fine Arts) for the French
Republic
in Tunisia and he directed an extensive survey of Roman hydraulic works
in Tunisia.

Equation (3-9a): The last term on the right
handside of the equation should be : Patm/(r*g)
.
Page 66
Solution of the application: The first
equation should be : q = V1 d1 = V3 d3
.
Page 67
In Table 4.1, the Petitcodiac river is
located in Canada (Bay of Fundy).
Page 70
Application, solution: In the table of
iterative results, the first estimate of d2 should be : d2
= dc = 6.34 m .
For Vsrg = 0, the positive surge
is a steady hydraulic jump. With an upstream Froude number close to
unity (Fr1 = 1.43), the downstream flow depth is slightly
greater than the critical depth.
Page 88
Application No. 1: In the table of results,
column 3, the correct values of the Darcy friction factors are : f =
0.016, 0.0134, 0.0131, 0.0131.
Page 235
Equation (12.8) should be :
to = 1/2 r
V2 h2/(l
d)
(12.8)
There should be 1/2 times the density times
the velocity square …
Pages 241, 243 & 244
Equation (12.8) should be corrected to:
to = 1/2 r
V2 h2/(l
d)
(12.8)
The solution in page 244 should be :
Complete
calculations give : V = 0.9 m/s, to'=
1.95 Pa, to" = 0.70 Pa, h = 0.15 m, l =
9.9 m.
Page 279
Table 14.1, Column 4 : The scaling ratio of
the discharge per unit width for a Froude law (distorted model) should
be Zr3/2 .
Page 322
Equation (17.4) should be :
(17-4)
It should be the square-root of 2 times g,
where g is the gravity acceleration.

Table 15.1: A further axample of
computational models for open channel flows is HydroChan,
a 1-D model for steady flow down flat slope (assuming hydrostatic
pressure
distribution and prismartic cross-section). Flow resistance may be
computed
using the Darcy friction factor (fully-rough-turbulent flow or based
upon
the Keulegan formula) and Gauckler-Manning formula.

On Page 332, Figure 17.11 must be updated
based upon new results (CHANSON et al. 2000). In skimming flows down a
stepped chute, the re-analysis of over 650 prototype and laboratory
data suggests that the equivalent friction factor is about 0.2. The
result is consistent with an analytical model of the the cavity flow (CHANSON et al. 2000, CHANSON
and
TOOMBES 2001).
