Interactive Quizzes
Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.
Question 1
What is the formula for critical velocity (Vc)?
- Vc = 0.55·D^0.64
- Vc = 0.75·D^0.45
- Vc = D^0.64
💡 Hint: Think about the components in the context of flow.
Question 2
True or False: Higher sediment sizes require lower velocities to remain in suspension.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Recall the critical velocity ratio concept.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A channel has a flow depth of 4 meters. Calculate the critical velocity. Discuss the implications of not maintaining this speed.
💡 Hint: Apply the formula carefully considering flow depth.
Question 2
If the sediment is a mix with a ratio of m = 1.2, what does this indicate about the required critical velocity compared to normal? Provide reasoning.
💡 Hint: Relate it back to the original formula and effects of sediment type.
