We report direct numerical simulations of incompressible unsteady open-channel flow. Two mechanisms of turbulence production are considered: shear at the bottom and externally imposed stress at the free surface. We concentrate upon the effects of mutual interaction of small-amplitude gravity waves with in-depth turbulence and statistical properties of the near-free-surface region. Extensions of our approach can be used to study turbulent mixing in the upper ocean and wind–sea interaction, and to provide diagnostics of bulk turbulence.

Open channel flow situations with near-critical flow conditions are often characterized by the development of free-surface instabilities (i.e., undulations). The paper develops a review of several near-critical flow situations. Experimental results are compared with ideal-fluid flow calculations. The analysis is completed by a series of new experiments. The results indicate that, for Froude numbers slightly above unity, the free-surface characteristics are very similar. However, with increasing Froude numbers, distinctive flow patterns develop. Key words: open channel flow, critical flow conditions, free-surface undulations, flow instability, undular surge, undular broad-crested weir flow, culvert flow.
