Question
A rectangular channel is 4 m wide, and it reduces to 2 m through a hydraulic structure. Assuring the transition to be horizontal and the flow to be frictionless determine the water surface elevations upstream of the constriction when the specific energy at the constriction is 6 m. Assume choking occurs, hence critical flow equations are applicable.
Note: Hand written solution is not allowed.
