Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a trapezoidal canal for a specific flow rate. What dimensions will you choose if the desired flow is 20 m³/s, with a slope of 0.001?

💡 Hint: Use Manning's equation for velocity to back out area and then choose dimensions.

Question 2

Calculate the effect on the Froude number if the width of a trapezoidal channel is doubled while maintaining depth and flow.

💡 Hint: Remember the effect on A and its impact on flow dynamics.
