Question

If the lake level upstream from a spillway is 55 m above the channel floor at
the base of the spillway just upstream of the hydraulic jump, estimate the
depth and velocity there for a flow rate of 1000 m^3/s and a spillway width
of 30 m. What is the value of the Froude number? Neglect the approach
velocity in the lake and the head losses on the spillway.

(a) A uniform flow of 300 cfs occurs at a depth of 5 ft in a long rectangular channel 10 ft wide. Compute the minimum height of a flat-top hump that can be built on the floor of the channel in order to produce a critical depth. What will result (upstream and downstream) if the hump is lower or higher than the computed minimum height? (b) If the critical depth in Q# 2a is produced by a contraction of the channel, what will be the minimum contracted width? (c) A hydraulic jump is formed just downstream of a sluice gate located at the entrance of a channel. There is a constant-level lake upstream of the sluice gate. The flow depth and velocity in the channel downstream of the jump are 5.2 ft and 4.3 ft/sec, respectively. What is the lake level? Assume the losses for flow through the sluice gate is negligible.
An overflow spillway is 40 m high. Water flows down the spillway with a head of 2.5m over the spillway crest. The spillway discharge coefficient Ca = 0.738. Show that the water depth at the toe of the spillway would be 0.3 m. Determine the sequent depth required for the formation of the hydraulic jump and the loss of head in the jump.
Problem #4 Hydraulic JumpA hydraulic jump occurs in a rectangular channel 4.0 m wide. The water depth before the jump is0.4 m. If the flowrate is 20 m3/s, determine the depth after the jump and the critical depth at thejump.
