A sluice gate in a 2.0 m wide horizontal rectangular channel is discharging freely. If the depths of a small distance upstream, y₁, and a downstream, y2, are 2.5 m and 0.20 m, respectively, estimate the discharge in the channel by 1) neglecting energy losses at the gate, and 2) by assuming the energy loss at the gate to be 10% of the upstream flow depth y₁. Ans: Dl Y₁ = 2.5 m y₂ = 0.2 m

Consider a 20-ft wide rectangular channel with a Manning's n value of 0.03. The channel has a discharge of 200 cubic feet per second at a uniform flow (normal) depth of 2 ft. A sluice gate at the downstream end of the channel controls the flow depth just upstream of the gate to a depth z. Determine the depth z so that a hydraulic jump is formed just upstream of the gate. What is the head loss (energy loss) in the hydraulic jump?
