Consider a rectangular channel with an aspect ratio greater than 5 (width B and depth zo). The velocity distribution in the central plane of the channel is approximated as u = k1(z) 1/2. Here u is the streamwise velocity and is a function of the bed-normal direction z and k1 is a constant. Assuming the velocity distribution is similar across the width, calculate the average velocity for the cross-section, the energy and momentum coefficients.

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.
Water flows in a rectangular channel of width, w. In some cases, the water may suddenly increase in elevation as shown in the figure (from h1 to h2) through a highly disturbed region called a hydraulic jump. Assume the velocity is uniform at stations 1 and 2, and assume the pressures are distributed hydrostatically.
