Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a rectangular open channel with a width of 4 feet, a depth of 3 feet, and a bed slope of 0.01. If the Chezy coefficient is 40, calculate the velocity of the water flow.
💡 Hint: Pay careful attention to how you calculate the wetted perimeter for the hydraulic radius.
A channel changes from a rough texture to a smooth surface. Discuss qualitatively how this change would impact the Chezy coefficient and the flow velocity in the channel.
💡 Hint: Think about friction's role in fluid flow and how surface texture alters it.
