Water is flowing at a velocity of 5m/s and a depth of 0.3m in a channel of rectangular cross-section that has a width of 3m. Find the change in depth, and in absolute water level produced by:

(a) a smooth contraction in channel width of 0.3m

(b) a smooth expansion in channel width of 0.3m.

(c) Also find the greatest allowable contraction in width for the upstream flow to be possible as specified.

A new bridge is being placed in a channel to accommodate a new development. The existing concrete lined (n=0.013) rectangular channel is 45 feet wide with a flow depth of 10 feet and flowrate of 1,500 cfs. A contraction needs to be placed to reduce the cost of installing a bridge over the channel. What is the smallest possible contraction (width) that can occur so that the upstream flows do not overtop the channel? (show work)

A 5-m wide rectangular channel with two reaches, each with a different slope, conveys 40m3/s of water. The channel slope for the first reach is 0.0005 and then a sudden change to a slope of 0.015 so that critical flow occurs at the transition. Determine the depths of flow at locations 10 m, 20 m and 30 m upstream of the critical depth. The Manning’s n for the channel is 0.015.
