Question 1

What are the main forces acting on water in open channel flow?

  • Gravity and pressure
  • Gravity and friction
  • Friction and tension

💡 Hint: One of these forces is always a pull in one direction.

Question 2

True or False: In supercritical flow, the water depth is greater than in subcritical flow.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the definitions of both flows and their characteristics.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A trapezoidal channel has a bottom width of 4 m, side slopes of 2:1, and a depth of 3 m. Calculate the hydraulic radius.

💡 Hint: Use the trapezoid area formula and remember to find both the area and perimeter carefully.

Question 2

Compare the energy loss in a long rectangular channel with laminar flow versus turbulent flow. Discuss factors impacting these losses.

💡 Hint: Consider the nature of flow and how it interacts with the channel surface.
