New polynomial solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for steady uni-directional flow of viscous incompressible fluid, with a free surface, down inclined channels of specialized cross-section are considered. An inverse method is uded to obtain the geometrical shape of the channel by equating the polynomials solution to zero (i.e. the no-slip condition) and thence determining the boundary shape.
