Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A canal channel is designed to maintain a specific Froude number for effective flow. If the channel depth is varied, how would you determine the width needed to keep a constant discharge? Provide calculations.

💡 Hint: Use the equations related to flow area and Froude's number.

Question 2

Consider a scenario where a hydraulic jump occurs. Analyze the energy loss and effects of flow depth before and after the jump. Provide a detailed explanation.

💡 Hint: Examine the relationship between Froude numbers and flows.
