TeachMeFinance.com - explain Tranquil flow Tranquil flow The term 'Tranquil flow' as it applies to the area of reclamation can be defined as ' Distinguished from rapid flow by a dimensionless number called the Froude number. If the Froude number is less than one, the flow is tranquil. If the Froude number is greater than one, the flow is rapid. If the Froude number is equal to one, the flow is critical. In tranquil flow, surface waves propagate upstream as well as downstream. Control of tranquil flow depth is always downstream'. About the author
