Water flows over a 3 m wide and 10 m high Ogee spillway with a designed water depth of hd= 3 m. Downstream of spillway is a straight floodway (channel) made of compact aggregates with D50=12 mm and slope of So=0.0003 [25/100]. Note: Assume an energy loss equal to 15% of the velocity head at the downstream. Use Swammy and Mittal’s formula to estimate critical shear stress.

Water resources engineering Please refer to the attached image. The new cat iron pipe carrying a flow of 0.3 ft3/s becomes divided at point B and rejoins at point C. The elevation at the reservior surface is 1300 feet. The elevation at point D is 560 feet. The pipe diameters and lengths are listed below. What is the pressure at point D? Neglect minor losses. Use the Darcy-Weisbach approach and assume fully turbulent flow. Verify this assumption for one of the pipes. If the assumption is not perfect, iteration is not necessary, just verify and comment.

(b) A dam spillway is to be designed as a combination of a circle-quadrant and rectangular cross- section, as shown in Fig. Q3b. The design constraints are as follows: • The base width (w) must not exceed three times the height (h) of water. • The total wetted perimeter must not exceed 15 m. The spillway must contain an average velocity of 1.5 m/s. Determine the dimensions (w and h) that satisfy the constraints, and then calculate the flow of water in the spillway. Fig. Q3b.
A rectangular channel is 4 m wide, and it reduces to 2 m through a hydraulic structure. Assuring the transition to be horizontal and the flow to be frictionless determine the water surface elevations upstream of the constriction when the specific energy at the constriction is 6 m. Assume choking occurs, hence critical flow equations are applicable. Note: Hand written solution is not allowed.

1. A channel of width 5m has a sluice gate as shown below, which forces the upstream flow to a deep state and the downstream flow to a shallow state. If the flow Q = 10m/s and the water depth at section B yB = 0.5m, estimate the water depth, velocity and velocity head at section A.
