Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A sluice gate controls a flow of water where the upstream depth is 2m and velocity 3m/s. After passing through the gate, calculate the downstream depth assuming a hydraulic jump occurs.

💡 Hint: Use mass and energy conservation equations.

Question 2

Design a rectangular channel with a target Q of 30 m³/s. Determine the optimal width and depth that minimizes the perimeter while maintaining hydraulic efficiency.

💡 Hint: Apply calculus to find the minimum perimeter condition.
