Question: Identify the types of water surface profiles that can be observed in the following channel with four different base slopes with a critical flow depth of yc. Indicate on the figure the uniform flow depths to be observed in each section of the channel. Name the water surface profiles you have determined by showing them on the figure (Ic on the figure shows the critical base slope and 10 shows the base slope of each channel section). Io1 < I. I < Io2 I. < Io2 < I03 ye I04 < I.

Note:hand written solution should be avoided.
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.
Problem 5: Energy Grade Line (EGL) and Hydraulic Grade Line (HGL) A small pipe discharges into a big pipe as sketched below. The head loss per length for the small pipe is 0.5 ft head per 1.0 ft length, or ho/L=0.5. The head loss in the big pipe is negligible. There is 1.0 ft of head loss associated with the transition from the small pipe to the big pipe. Which of the following sketches most accurately describes the hydraulic grade line (HGL), shown dashed, and the energy grade line (EGL), shown solid? Choose (a)-(d), re- sketch, and explain your choice. (a) (b) (c) (d)
