Hydraulics and Hydrology Tutorial 03

This document contains 3 questions regarding hydraulic jumps in open channel flow. Question 1 asks to determine the critical depth in a trapezoidal channel given a discharge of 14 m3/s, bottom width of 6m, and side slopes of 45 degrees. Question 2 provides flow parameters in a trapezoidal channel and asks for downstream depth and velocity if a jump occurs at 0.3m depth, as well as Froude numbers. Question 3 gives flow depth and velocity in a rectangular channel and asks for downstream parameters and head loss if a jump is forced by a sill.

Question 1
Determine the critical depth in this trapezoidal
channel for a discharge of 14 m3/ s, The width of
the channel bottom is B = 6 m, and the sides
slope upward at an angle of 45.

Question 2
Water flows in a trapezoidal channel at a rate of
8.5 m3/s. The channel has a bottom width of 3 m
and side slopes of 1 vertical to 1 horizontal. If a
hydraulic jump is forced to occur where the
upstream depth is 0.3 m, what will be the
downstream depth and velocity? What are the
values of Fr1 and Fr2?

Question 3
Water flows in a rectangular channel at a depth
of 30 cm with a velocity of 16 m/s, as shown in
the sketch that follows. If a downstream sill (not
shown) forces a hydraulic jump, what will be the
depth and velocity downstream of the jump?
What head loss is produced by the Jump?
