Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a river with a gradual slope where the depth changes from 2m to 4m over 200m, explain how the energy slope would behave. Provide calculations for dH/dx if Q = 5 m³/s.
💡 Hint: Apply your understanding of flow equations.
Analyze a channel where the normal depth exists at y0 = 3m and critical depth at yc = 2m. Describe the flow profile present.
💡 Hint: Use regional definitions of flow profiles.
