Defining the optimum shape of the fluid flow boundaries, which would ensure minimum undesirable phenomena, like "dead water" zones, unsteady fluid flow, etc., is one of the crucial hydraulic engineering’s task. Method of kinetic balance is described and used for this purpose, what is illustrated with few examples. .
