Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze the stability of an upstream flow condition when a downstream hydraulic jump occurs in a canal with rapid velocity. What implications does this instability have for water management?

💡 Hint: Think about how water flows differently above and below the jump.

Question 2

Using a real-world case study, design a canal system considering energy loss through hydraulic jumps. What factors would you include in your calculations?

💡 Hint: Consider all elements that affect water flow in practical designs!
