Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A concrete channel has a width of 4 m and a depth of 2 m, with a slope of 0.01. If the Manning's roughness coefficient is 0.025, calculate the flow rate Q and the Froude Number.

💡 Hint: Remember, find the hydraulic radius first for precise calculations.

Question 2

Using an uneven channel profile, calculate the Froude Number at three different locations where depths and velocities are varying. How does the channel shape influence those numbers?

💡 Hint: Analyze how all measurements interact in the overall channel flow.
