Water Resources Engineering: You are given the following information for a triangular channel: Top width, B = 3 m Q = 7.23 m3/s n = 0.016 If the bed slope suddenly changes from 0.01 m/m to 0.0006 m/m, describe the phenomenon that occurs at this sudden change in slope. Determine the normal depths for the two slopes. Draw a sketch of this situation showing the change in slope and whatever change in depth occurs (if any).

Water Resources Engineering:

You are given the following information for a triangular channel:

  • Top width, B = 3 m
  • Q = 7.23 m3/s
  • n = 0.016

If the bed slope suddenly changes from 0.01 m/m to 0.0006 m/m, describe the phenomenon that occurs at this sudden change in slope. Determine the normal depths for the two slopes. Draw a sketch of this situation showing the change in slope and whatever change in depth occurs (if any).
