The theory of two-layer hydraulics is extended to topography with co-varying width and height. When these variations of the non-dimensional width and total depth have a power law relationship, the solutions can still be presented in the Froude-number plane for both unidirectional and exchange flows. These differ from previous solutions, which were limited to treating width and height variations separately.
