Water flows in an open channel across a weir which occupies the full width of the channel. The lenght of the weir is 0.5 m and the height of water over the weir is 100 mm. What is the flow rate of water?
Water flows over a spillway of a dam. At the bottom of the spillway, water flows into a rectangular
concrete-finished channel (width - 50 ft) with a slope of 0.005. Let n-0.0206.
2.5 ft
d, - 2.9 ft
a) Calculate the velocity in the channel at the section where the depth is 2.9 ft. Use Manning's
equation. (15)
b) Determine Froude number at the section where the depth is 2.9 ft and classify the flow. (15)
c) Classify the flow where the depth is 2.5 ft and prove your classification. (15)
d) What do you expect the flow to be at depth d2 (just an educated guess)? (5)
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.
