Question
Problem 4
Water flows in a rectangular channel with channel width
B = 4.0 (m). The specific energy diagram (SED) of this flow is given in the figure
below. (y =0.2 m)
(1) Estimate the channel discharge Q from the given SED.
(2) If the water depth in the channel at a cross section is y₁ = 0.45 (m). The channel
bottom is raised smoothly by Az = 0.2 (m). Determine if the flow will be "choked"
by the raised step. If yes, estimate the "backed up” depth upstream, y₁. If not, what is
the water depth y₂ above the step?
