Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A trapezoidal channel has a bottom width of 5 m, side slopes of 1:1, and a depth of 3 m. Calculate the hydraulic radius for the channel.

💡 Hint: Remember to break the channel into simpler shapes for calculating area and perimeter.

Question 2

Determine the type of flow and Froude number for an open channel flow with a flow velocity of 2 m/s, and a depth of 1.5 m.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for the Froude number which involves flow velocity and depth.
