Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A rectangular channel is 10m wide with a discharge of 20 m³/s. Calculate the flow depth and determine if the flow is subcritical or supercritical.

💡 Hint: Use Q = A * v where A is the area of the flow.

Question 2

Design a trapezoidal channel with a discharge of 30 m³/s at a certain slope. What dimensions would minimize energy loss?

💡 Hint: Apply optimal design principles for trapezoidal cross-section.
