Question

PLEASE SOLVE PARTS (E) AND (F)

Problem: Open-Channel Hydraulics: Flow Profiles, Direct Step Method and Hydraulic Jump
A rectangular concrete channel is 60 feet wide, has a bed slope of 3 per thousand and a Manning's friction factor n
of 0.015.
NDL-
(a) The 100-year design flow is Q = 300 cfs. Compute the normal depth y, in the channel.
(b) Is the uniform flow in the channel subcritical or supercritical? Show your calculations.
(c) There is a sluice gate at the downstream side of the channel. It induces a rise in water surface elevation
upstream of the sluice gate. The depth of water upstream of the gate is 2.5 ft. Which gradually varied
curve (M1, M2, M3, S1, S2, S3, etc.) is formed upstream of the sluice gate? Plot it on the scchematic diagram
below.
(d) Use the Direct Step Method to compute the length (L) of the gradually varied flow curve that was identified
in question (c). You can use Excel to compute the length of the curve. (I suggest you use incremental depth
changes of Dy=0.1 ft between y=2.5 ft and y, in order to find Dx for each step.)
(e) The flow Q = 300 cfs goes under the sluice gate that extends across the width of the channel. The opening
under the sluice gate is 0.2 ft. The water flow continues in the same channel with the same bed slope and
cross section. Show the gradually varied curve after the sluice gate. Is it M1, M2, S1, or...?
(f) Does a hydraulic jump form anywhere in the channel? Explain why and where. If there is a hydraulic jump,
compute the alternate depths y₁ and y₂ before and after the jump, and mark them on the diagram.
