Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a canal where the flow depth is 2 meters. Calculate the wave speed and explain how changes in flow depth would affect it.

💡 Hint: Think about how the value of y changes the wave speed.

Question 2

Design a scenario where the Froude number is equal to 1. What happens to disturbances in this flow state?

💡 Hint: Reference the balance of forces in critical flow.
