Canal effect. The figure shows an anchored barge that extends across a canal by distance d = 25 m and into the water by distance b = 15 m. The canal has a width D = 56 m, a water depth H = 17 m, and a uniform water-flow speed v₁ = 1.6 m/s. Assume that the flow around the barge is uniform. As the water passes the bow, the water level undergoes a dramatic dip known as the canal effect. If the dip has depth h = 0.65 m, what is the water speed alongside the boat through the vertical cross sections at (a) point a and (b) point b? The erosion due to the speed increase is a common concern to hydraulic engineers.

Concept explainers

Fluid Pressure

The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.

Gauge Pressure

Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.

Question

Canal effect. The figure shows an anchored barge that extends across a canal by distance
d = 25 m and into the water by distance b = 15 m. The canal has a width D = 56 m, a water
depth H = 17 m, and a uniform water-flow speed v¡ = 1.6 m/s. Assume that the flow around
the barge is uniform. As the water passes the bow, the water level undergoes a dramatic dip
known as the canal effect. If the dip has depth h = 0.65 m, what is the water speed alongside
the boat through the vertical cross sections at (a) point a and (b) point b? The erosion due to
the speed increase is a common concern to hydraulic engineers.
