The flow in a very wide rectangular channel tends to a freefall at which the depth is reduced to 0.67 times the normal depth. The channel conveys a specific discharge of 4 m3/s/m and has a bed slope of 10 cm/km. Estimate the distance upstream of the fall where the water depth is 0.9 times the normal depth. Take the Manning coefficient as 0.025 and use the step-by-step (direct step) method.

Water flows in a rectangular concrete channel that is 10 m wide and has a slope of 0.005. The depth of the uniform flow in the channel (y1) is 450 mm and the discharge per width of the water is 2.2 m2/s. The downstream channel is smooth, and a hydraulic jump is forced to form in the channel by installing a sill. Calculate: (i) the depth and velocity of the water downstream of the hydraulic jump; (ii) the difference in...

Water approaches a sharp-crested rectangular weir through a channel that is 2 m wide. The depth of flow in the channel is 1 m. The weir crest is 0.6 m above the base of the channel and has a crest width of 0.8 m. It is located in the centre of the channel. Assuming a coefficient of discharge of 0.61, and ignoring side contractions, determine the discharge over the weir: a) Assuming the approach velocity is zero b) Including the...

A vertical sluice gate in a long rectangular channel 5 m wide is lowered to produce an opening of 1.0 m. Assuming that free flow conditions exist at the vena contracta downstream of the gate verify that the flow in the vena contracta is supercritical when the discharge is 15 m3/s, and determine the depth just upstream of the gate. Cv = 0.98; Cc = 0.6. Take the upstream velocity energy coefficient (Coriolis) to be 1.0 and that at the...
