Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A rectangular channel undergoes a hydraulic jump where Fr1 = 8 and a flow depth y1 = 0.15m. Calculate the depth after the jump y2 and the corresponding energy loss.
💡 Hint: Set up proper flow equations.
If a channel’s width is 2m and it carries an 8 m³/s discharge at a depth of 0.5m. Assess the flow regime and the possible occurrence of hydraulic jumps.
💡 Hint: Focus on establishing flow relationships.
