Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a channel where a hydraulic jump reduces flow velocity from 10 m/s to 2 m/s with an initial depth of 0.5 m. Calculate the necessary elements.
💡 Hint: Start with Fr1 and determine the downstream conditions.
During a hydraulic jump, the initial velocity is 12 m/s, and the suppercritical state causes energy loss of 5 m. Determine the sequent depths and changes.
💡 Hint: Remember to keep track of velocity after the jump.
