Calculate the initial and sequent depths y1 and y2 of a hydraulic jump,
given unit-width discharge q = 0.12 m2/s, and energy loss
ΔE = 0.6 m. Procedure: Assume a suitably low F1; calculate
y2/y1,
y1, v1, and a new F1. Compare new value with assumed value;
if different, increment F1 a suitable amount and iterate, until a match is obtained. Show results in tabular form. Confirm with onlinechannel16.php
(20%) You are observing the rising flood stage of a major river in a study reach AB of length L = 10 km.
At your observation point at the downstream point B, the discharge is QB =
300 m3/s and the stage is rising at the rate of rB = 3.2 mm/hr.
The average surface width of the river in the study reach is W = 180 m. Estimate the present discharge
at point A. How could this estimate be improved?

A hydraulically wide channel is operating at Froude number F = 0.18.
The unit-width discharge is q = 2.25 m2/s. What are two Langrange absolute celerities?
(20%) Teton Dam failed on June 5, 1975, in Idaho, releasing 2,000,000 cfs. At a distance of 100 miles downstream,
the flow was estimated to be 50,000 cfs.
What type of wave was most likely acting? Kinematic, diffusion, or dynamic? Why?
(20%) An irrigation canal has a mean velocity u = 0.7 m/s, mean flow depth d = 1 m,
and slope S = 0.005 m/m. Estimate
the minimum time of gate opening To to minimize the possibility of a surge.
