Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given an upstream flow depth of 3 m and velocity of 5 m/s, calculate the downstream flow depth when the flow transitions to a subcritical state. Use conservation equations.

💡 Hint: Start by using F = v/sqrt(g*y) to find the initial conditions.

Question 2

Discuss the design implications of hydraulic jumps in a spillway that experiences high flows. What would engineers need to consider?

💡 Hint: Consider both flow conditions and the physical environment.
