Abstract
In open-channel flow, increasing a channels slope reduces the depth of flow. This principle is applied in roof drainage design guidelines for box gutters, which often allow for a reduction in gutter depth as gutter slope increases. It is assumed that the depth of flow in a gutter will continue to reduce as the slope increases. This study has found, however, that gutter slopes of 1:100 and greater, can form hydraulic jumps, increasing the flow depth, where the lateral inflow meets the channel flow. The flow depth of the hydraulic jump, for slopes of 1:100 or more, can be greater than the maximum flow depth in a channel with a slope of 1:150 or less.
