    Lacey's Regime Theory

    Uploaded by

    Gaurav Balodiya
    The document summarizes Lacey's theory of irrigation channel design on alluvial soils from 1939. It describes Lacey's definitions of key terms like regime channel and rugosity coefficient. Lacey defined regime conditions and proposed that under constant discharge, silt grade, and silt charge, the dimensions, width, depth, and slope of a stable channel are fixed. The theory is based on field observations and empirical equations rather than strict scientific principles. The equations only approximately describe real-world conditions and regime states are rarely achieved in practice.

    Theory & Limitations

     Taking lead from the Kennedy theory Mr.


    Gerald Lacey undertook detailed study to
    evolve more scientific method of designing
    irrigation channels on alluvial soils. He
    presented revised version of his study in
    1939 which is popularly known as Lacey’s
    theory. In this theory, Lacey described in
    detail concept of regime conditions and
    rugosity coefficient. The definitions of these
    terms are already given.
     Lacey defined regime channel as a stable
    channel transporting a regime silt charge.
     Regime conditions are as follows
    1.The channel is flowing in unlimited
    incoherent alluvium of the same character as
    that transported.
    2.Silt grade and silt charge are constant.
    3.Discharge is constant.
     Dimensions, Width, Depth and slope of a
    regime channel to carry a given discharge
    loaded with a given silt charge are all fixed by
    nature.
     Lacey gave three fundamental equations are:
     V = 0.639 √fR
     Where V is regime velocity
     Af2 = 141.2 V5
     V = 10.8 R2/3 S1/3
     The Lacey’s work is based on field observations and
    empirically derived equations and therefore it cannot be
    said to be theory in strict sense.
     Regime equations in their derived from cannot be applied
    universally as they hold good mostly for the regions whose
    data was taken for study.
     Like Kennedy’s theory even though perfect definition of
    silt grade and silt charge is not given most of the
    equations are based on the silt factor ‘f’.
     In practice regime condition stated by Lacey is very rarely
    achieved and that too after a long period.
     The field observations have shown limited acceptance of
    the concept of semi-elliptical section of a regime channel.
     Complex phenomenon of sediment concentration and
    transport has not been scientifically considered.
