Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A river has an upstream depth of 1.5m and a velocity of 6m/s. Calculate the downstream depth if the flow transitions from supercritical to subcritical. Use appropriate conservation principles.

💡 Hint: Double-check flow conservation equations.

Question 2

Design a spillway that minimizes energy loss during hydraulic jumps. Outline the critical parameters and considerations.

💡 Hint: Think about specific engineering practices in spillway design.
