Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A trapezoidal channel with a bottom width of 5 ft, depth of 3 ft, and side slopes of 1:1 (horizontal to vertical) has a slope of 0.02. If the Manning's n value is 0.035, calculate the flow velocity using Manning's equation.
💡 Hint: Break down the problem into finding area and hydraulic radius before applying the equation.
Evaluate how changing the roughness coefficient affects flow in an open channel, discussing its implications on flow speed, flood control, and erosion.
💡 Hint: Consider real-life scenarios where channel maintenance can impact design strategies.
