CIV E 632 - COMPUTATIONAL HYDRAULICS AND HYDROLOGY
FALL 2021
HOMEWORK No. 1


Calculate and plot the celerity and attenuation functions of the dynamic wave, i.e., reproduce Figs. 10-4 and 10-5 of Section 10.2 of "Fundamentals of Open-channel Hydraulics."

  • Use dimensionless wavenumbers varying smoothly between 0.001 and 1000.

  • Use the same Froude numbers as in the example figure.

  • Plot dimensionless relative wave celerity vs dimensionless wavenumber for the chosen set of Froude numbers. Use logarithmic scales.

  • Plot logarithmic decrement vs dimensionless wavenumber for the chosen set of Froude numbers. Use logarithmic scales.

  • Use Excel and Photoshop. Design the colors of the graphs. Use Tutorial if necessary.
