Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Imagine a sluice gate with an uneven velocity profile impacting the force exerted. How would you approach calculating the resultant force?
💡 Hint: Carefully consider the influence of depth and varying flow rates.
A turbulent flow has an inlet velocity of 5 m/s and a pressure of 15 m. Estimate the force on a vertical barrier using momentum principles.
💡 Hint: Focus on the relationship between depth, pressure, and flow conditions.
