Water flows in a 4-m wide rectangular open channel that has an n = 0.022, a slope of 0.005 m/m, and the flow rate is 10 m3/s.   A flow depth of 0.92 m is located at a particular location in the channel. What type of flow profile occurs at that location? Given the roughness value, what is the likely channel material?
