Water flows steadily along a horizontal open channel of uniform width, over a broad-crested weir. The channel bed upstream from the weir (to the left) is d metres above the channel bed downstream from the weir (to the right), as shown in the figure below. The volume flow rate per unit width is Q = 6 m2 s-1, and upstream the depth of the water is h1 = 3m. Take the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity as a= 10ms-2

Transcribed Image Text:Water flows steadily along a horizontal open channel of uniform width, over
a broad-crested weir. The channel bed upstream from the weir (to the left) is
d metres above the channel bed downstream from the weir (to the right), as
shown in the figure below. The volume flow rate per unit width is
Q = 6 m? s-1, and upstream the depth of the water is h1 = 3 m. Take the
magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity as g = 10 ms 2.

(a) Find the upstream speed u1, and show that the flow is subcritical there.
(b) Find the specific energy E (in m) for the flow upstream.
(c) By applying Bernoulli's equation along a suitable streamline, show that
the depth h2 in the downstream section of the channel satisfies the
equation
5h – (16 + 5d)h+9 = 0.
