Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a spillway considering hydraulic jumps for different flow rates. What depth changes would you expect, and how would you manage energy losses?

💡 Hint: Consider how specific energy relates to various depths.

Question 2

Given various channel widths, determine which yields the lowest energy loss in a hydraulic jump scenario with a set flow rate.

💡 Hint: Use principles of hydraulic design to guide your analysis.
