Chapter 13, Problem 143P

Repeat Prob. 13-142 for a velocity of 3.2 ms after the hydraulic jump.

To determine

The flow rate of water through the gate per meter width.

The flow depth $y_1$ and $y_2$.

The energy dissipation ratio of the jump.

Answer to Problem 143P

The flow rate of water through the gate per meter width is $9.6{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}/\text{s}$.

The flow depth $y_1$ and $y_2$ are $7.68\text{m}$ and $1.418\text{m}$.

The energy dissipation ratio of the jump is $0.0618\text{m}$.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Water is flowing through a sluice gate, the velocity of water before reaching the gate is $1.25\text{m}/\text{s}$, the velocity of water after the jump is $4\text{m}/\text{s}$, the flow depth at $\left(3\right)$ is $3\text{m}$.

The flow is considered per meter width so $b=1\text{m}$.

The figure below shows the flow.

Calculation:

Substitute $1\text{m}$ for $b$ and $3\text{m}$ for $y_3$ in Equation (I).

  $\begin{array}{c}{A}_{c3}=1\text{m}\times \text{3}\text{m}\\ ={\text{3m}}^2\end{array}$

Substitute $3.2\text{m}/\text{s}$ for $V_3$, $3{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}$ for $A_{c3}$ in Equation (II).

  $\begin{array}{c}\dot{V}=3.2\text{m}/\text{s}\times 3{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}\\ =9.6{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}/\text{s}\end{array}$

Substitute $3.2\text{m}/\text{s}$ for $V_3$, $1.25\text{m}/\text{s}$ for $V_1$ in Equation (III).

  $\begin{array}{c}{y}_1=\frac{3.2\text{m}/\text{s}}{1.25\text{m}/\text{s}}\left(3\text{m}\right)\\ =2.56\left(3\text{m}\right)\\ =7.68\text{m}\end{array}$

Substitute $3.2\text{m}/\text{s}$ for $V_3$

  $9.81\text{m}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}$ for $g$ and $3\text{m}$ for $y_3$ in Equation (IV).

  $\begin{array}{c}{F}_{r3}=\frac{3.2\text{m}/\text{s}}{\sqrt{9.81\text{m}/{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}\times 3\text{m}}}\\ =\frac{3.2\text{m}/\text{s}}{5.425\text{m}/\text{s}}\\ =0.5899\end{array}$

Substitute $3\text{m}$ for $y_3$
