A dam releases water into a spillway, and then some distance downstream a hydraulic jump occurs. The dam height is 25 m, the initial depth in the spillway is 1 m, and the hydraulic jump leads to a region of depth 15 m. Upstream of the dam may be considered a reservoir. Determine the average velocity before the jump and whether the jump will occur. If there will be a jump, determine the velocity after the hydraulic jump, neglecting any friction losses.
1. A rectangular channel has a contraction that smoothly changes the width to a minimum width of 1.5 f t (the throat). If the flow is critical at the throat, find the volume flow rate when the depth at the throat is 1.5 f t. 2. Water in an open channel of constant width flows over a bump of height 1 f t, as shown in Figure P10.10. What is the depth of the water Y2? Assume uniform flow of constant width with no losses.
Water flows in a rectangular channel of width, w.
