Question 1

What represents the highest velocity in an open channel?

  • At the free surface
  • At the bottom boundary
  • In the middle of the flow

💡 Hint: Where do you think the water moves the fastest?

Question 2

True or False: The pressure at the free surface in an open channel is above atmospheric pressure.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how pressure behaves at the surface of a fluid.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a trapezoidal channel with a bottom width of 5 m, side slopes of 2:1, and a flow depth of 3 m, calculate the hydraulic radius and determine if the flow is uniform.

💡 Hint: Make sure to correctly apply the trapezoidal area formula.

Question 2

Analyze how changing the channel slope from 1% to 2% affects the velocity distribution at a depth of 2 meters.

💡 Hint: Consider how gravitational forces influence flow characteristics in this scenario.
