A spillway model is to be built to a geometrically similar scale of 1/50 across a flume of 60 cm width. The prototype is 15 metres high and maximum head on spillway is expected to be 1.5 m. If the flow over a model at a particular head is 12 litres per second, what flow per metre length of the prototype is expected?

If the lake level upstream from a spillway is 55 m above the channel floor at the base of the spillway just upstream of the hydraulic jump, estimate the depth and velocity there for a flow rate of 1000 m^3/s and a spillway width of 30 m. What is the value of the Froude number? Neglect the approach velocity in the lake and the head losses on the spillway.
Water is being released from a spillway at a flow velocity of 13.72 m/s. The depth of flow at the toe of the spillway is 0.3 m. Compute the required depth of flow at the tail to cause a hydraulic jump.
