Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a trapezoidal channel that can convey a discharge of 50 m³/s. What are the dimensions that would minimize the area while ensuring all hydraulic requirements are met?
💡 Hint: Start with the known discharge and work backwards to find optimal dimensions.
Calculate the appropriate slope for a circular channel designed for a maximum flow of 100 m³/s given a specific roughness coefficient. How does the hydraulic radius affect this calculation?
💡 Hint: Break down the equation into manageable parts to find the slope dynamically.
