Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A rectangular channel experiences a hydraulic jump where the upstream depth is 3.5m with a velocity of 6 m/s. Calculate the downstream depth and velocity.

💡 Hint: Link upstream Froude number to downstream conditions using energy conservation.

Question 2

Design a spillway that utilizes hydraulic jumps effectively. Discuss energy considerations and downstream effects.

💡 Hint: Think about flow rates and material choices.
