Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 27P
The depths of water upstream and downstream from a hydraulic jump on the horizontal “apron” downstream from a spillway structure are observed to be approximately 3 ft and 8 ft. If the structure is 200 ft long (perpendicular to the direction of flow), about how much horsepower is being dissipated in this jump?

Question
: A stream bed has a rectangular cross section 5 meters wide and a slope of
0.0002 m/m. The flow rate in the stream is 8.75 m³/s. A dam is built across the stream, causing
the water surface to rise to 2.5 meters just upstream of the dam, as shown below. Assume n =
0.015.
y = yn
2.5 m
a. Find the normal depth, yn, corresponding to this flow rate and channel geometry. You do
not need to solve the equation by hand. To get full credit, show your equation with only
one unknown.
b. Find the critical depth, yc.
c. The yn is found to be 1.8 m by solving the equation numerically. Identify the water
surface profile upstream of the dam. Explain your answer for full credit.
3.In one section of the irrigation canal, the narrowing of 1.5 times the width upstream (as
shown in the figure below). If the uniform channel cross section is rectangular with the
downstream width (b2) = 4.5 m, the velocity (V1) and depth (y1) of the upstream flow are
measured to be 0.2 m/s and 4.0 m, determine the energy loss (hf ) due to channel narrowing
if the downstream flow depth is assumed to be the same as the upstream flow depth !

At the bottom of the dam, the depth of flow is h₁. As you may have seen on watching rapid channel flow, the water may suddenly change elevation to height h₂ as it passes through a highly disturbed region called the hydraulic jump. If velocity is assumed uniform at 1 and 2, compute the height h2 using the control volume analysis. Take the pressures at 1 and 2 as hydrostatic, and assume that the flow is steady. Neglect friction at the channel bed and walls. (Courtesy of the Wright Water Engineers, Inc. and ASDSO) Hydraulic jump h₁ = 3 ft V₁ = 25 ft/s BE 2 h₂ =? V₂ = ?
