A rectangular channel with a base width of 3 m carries a discharge of 6 m3/s at a depth of 1.1 m. At downstream, there is a gradual rising of a channel bed of 0.1 m.

a) Plot the specific energy curve from y = 0.4 m to 1.3 m in a step 0.1 m and from the curve, determine the depth of flow at the downstream section. Label the graph and show your working answers clearly on the graph. *

13.(LAB) A discharge of 25 m3/s is passing in a rectangular channel of bed width 8.0 meters and water depth 3.0 meters. The channel bed width is gradually contracted from 8.0 meters at section (1) to 6.0 meters at section (2). In the contraction zone, a smooth hump is placed in the channel in which the bed level is gradually increased by 1.00 m. Determine: (i) The change in water levels, (ii).The minimum height of hump so that y2 =...

A 5 m wide rectangular channel carries a flow of 20 m3/s. The slope of the channel is 0.005 and the Manning’s n is 0.03. The flow encounters a 0.5 m step up that is 0.1 m long. The depths far upstream and downstream are normal. Classify this channel Qualitatively sketch this scenario, label gradually varied flow curves and provide appropriate depths. Draw this scenario on an E-Y cycle graph, and label all depth changes.
