Consider a rectangular channel with an upstream depth of 3 feet and a flow rate of 6.5 ft²/s. Calculate the downstream elevation if raised over a 1-foot ramp, discussing energy losses.
💡 Hint: Focus on establishing a clear relationship between upstream and downstream depths.
A river transitions from a steep cliff into a wooden ramp over 0.5 feet. Analyze the flow behavior during this transition and how adjustments to z1 affect the water's critical depth.
💡 Hint: Consider both energy inputs and losses due to ramp height.
