Depth y (M) Laminar Flow Subcritical Flow: Max Limit of Velocity V (M/S) For

The document provides two equations for calculating flow velocity: Reynolds' equation for laminar flow and Fraud's equation for subcritical flow. It also gives sample calculations of the maximum velocity for different flow depths using both equations, showing that subcritical flow results in much higher velocities than laminar flow for the same flow depth.
