It is necessary to work out a simplified calculation method for engineering design. According to the geometrical shape, the calculation methods of relative cross section area, relative wetted perimeter, relative hydraulic radius, relative water depth and relative width of water surface in different areas of standard type-II horseshoe cross section are given. Furthermore, according to differential equation of water surface profile in open-channel with constant non-uniform flow, the trial-and-error method of flow profile is given. On the basis of least square method, the approximation relationship between j′, Fr2 and relative depth h/r1 are given, and according to the relationship, the integral formula of water surface profile which is an explicit function with convenient calculation and high accuracy is obtained. The trial-and-error method and the integral method are applied to three examples and comparison between the results shows that the calculation accuracy of integral method meets the requirement of engineering design. The maximum error of integral method is 0.965% compared with the trial-and-error method with 1 mm step high. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.3969/j.issn.1001-5485.2015.04.012
