Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A trapezoidal canal has a base of 8m, with side slopes of 1:2, and a discharge of 4m³/s. Determine the flow depth and hydraulic radius.

💡 Hint: Break down the trapezoid into components.

Question 2

A rectangular channel sees a hydraulic jump, with parameters leading to an upstream Froude number of 3. Calculate the energy losses due to the jump.

💡 Hint: Use the defined equations for specific energy to find E_1 and E_2.
