Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a channel with a mild slope where normal depth is 1.5 m and critical depth is 1 m, analyze how the flow behaves in this region and what happens if the slope becomes steep.
💡 Hint: Think about the implications of changing depth ratios.
Explain the flow scenario in a channel with an adverse slope. If the normal depth is reported as non-existent, describe the overall flow behavior.
💡 Hint: Consider how gravity and channel slope interact.
