Question
1) Consider a uniform, rectangular channel with width b and no bottom slope,
through which water is flowing in the shallow-water regime, i.e. the waves are
long compared to the water's depth h.
• Write the equations for conservation of mass and x-momentum in a rainy
day, when a volume r(x, t) of water falls on the channel per unit surface
and unit time (Notice that the rain brings no horizontal momentum, and
neglect any possible effect that its vertical momentum may have on the
pressure at the water's surface.)
• Manipulate your equations into an equation for hi and one for ut, where
h(x, t) is the water's height and u(x, t) is its mean velocity in the x direc-
tion.
• Interpret the meaning of the term that appears as a forcing in the equation
for ut, considering for simplicity solutions (and rain) that do not depend on
x. (Hint: you may want to compare the total momentum in an arbitrary
segment of the channel at two times separated by a small interval At.)
