Explore the fundamental principles and practical applications of the Froude Number in this comprehensive webinar. Delve into the essential characteristics of flow, from its origins in naval architecture to its relevance in static structures. Learn how subcritical and supercritical flow relate to the Mach Number through Newton's method, and discover the Froude Number's significance in hydraulic design. Gain valuable insights into the concept and equations underlying the Froude number, as well as practical considerations for its use in modeling. Engage in a Q&A session to deepen your understanding and receive information on further training opportunities in hydrology and hydraulics.
