Question

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.

(a) Using the conservation of mass and momentum, find the equation (cubic) for the downstream depth, h2, in terms of h1, V1, and g.

(b) Using the Bernoulli equation and whatever other necessary equation(s), find the equation (cubic) for the downstream depth, h2, in terms of h1, V1, and g. In light of (a) and (b) above, does your answer to this part make sense? Explain.
(c) For h1 = 1 m and V1 = 7:6 m/s, find the downstream height, h2, using whichever of the above approaches is the most correct. (Note that there are two valid solutions - explain.) What is the downstream velocity?

### Problem 4: Hydraulic Jump in a Rectangular Channel

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 \( h_1 \) to \( h_2 \)) 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.

#### Diagram Description:
The diagram depicts a hydraulic jump with the following elements:
- Initial height of water (\( h_1 \)) at station 1 and the corresponding velocity (\( V_1 \)).
- The region of hydraulic jump is indicated, representing a sudden rise in water level.
- Downstream height of water (\( h_2 \)) at station 2 with the corresponding velocity (\( V_2 \)).

### Questions:

#### (a)
Using the conservation of mass and momentum, find the equation (cubic) for the downstream depth, \( h_2 \), in terms of \( h_1 \), \( V_1 \), and \( g \).

#### (b)
Using the Bernoulli equation and whatever other necessary equation(s), find the equation (cubic) for the downstream depth, \( h_2 \), in terms of \( h_1 \), \( V_1 \), and \( g \). In light of (a) and (b) above, does your answer to this part make sense? Explain.

#### (c)
For \( h_1 = 1 \, \text{m} \) and \( V_1 = 7.6 \, \text{m/s} \), find the downstream height, \( h_2 \), using whichever of the above approaches is most correct. (Note that there are two valid solutions – explain.) What is the downstream velocity?

### Solution Steps:

#### (a)
**Conservation of Mass and Momentum:**

* Step 1: Apply the Continuity Equation (Conservation of Mass):
\[
\text{Continuity: } w h_1 V_1 = w h_2 V_2 \implies h_1 V_1 = h_
