A 16 ft wide, rectangular channel goes from a very steep grade to a mild slope. The design discharge is 875 ft’/s and the normal depth and velocity on the steep slope were calculated to be 1.0 ft and 54.7 ft/s, respectively. On the mild slope, the normal depth and velocity were calculated to be 9.71 ft and 5.6 ft/s, respectively. Determine the type of flow occurring in both channels. If a hydraulic jump occurs, evaluate the depth downstream (sequent depth (y2)) of the hydraulic jump.
