Awide rectangular movable bed channel laid at a slope of 0.001,is made up of sediments of 6mm dia. The Specific gravity of the sediments is 2.65. Perform the following tasks.Compute the Incipient depth assuming the non-dimensionalized Shear Reynolds number (variable plotted along X-axis of the Shields curve) to be greater than 400. Hence compute the maximum discharge that can be carried in the channel with no sediment movement.
