Consider a 20-ft wide rectangular channel with a Manning's n value of 0.03. The channel has a discharge of 200 cubic feet per second at a uniform flow (normal) depth of 2 ft. A sluice gate at the downstream end of the channel controls the flow depth just upstream of the gate to a depth z. Determine the depth z so that a hydraulic jump is formed just upstream of the gate. What is the head loss (energy loss) in the hydraulic jump?
