Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a channel with a gradually varied flow with a mild slope, if the normal depth (y0) is greater than the critical depth (yc), explain how you would analyze the flow characteristics.

💡 Hint: Consider how the Froude number might vary in this case.

Question 2

Derive the differential equation expressing the relationship between energy slope, bottom slope, and water surface slope in a gradually varied flow scenario.

💡 Hint: Focus on relating the forces and energy perspectives.
