The longitudinal shape of the water surface in a stream or open conduit upstream from a point where a sudden fall occurs, as when flowing water passes over a dam, weir, or other obstruction. In uniform channels the curve is convex upward. The depth at all points is greater than Belanger's critical depth and less than normal depth, and velocities increase downstream, the flow being nonuniform. 2, record 1, English, - drop%2Ddown%20curve
