Problem 2. A 25-foot wide rectangular channel with Manning’s n of 0.025 is carrying 5000 cfs. The slope of the channel is 0.05% (0.0005 ft/ft). At a specific point, the slope changes abruptly to 5%. Using the direct step method, calculate the profile upstream of the break in slope, extending upstream to a point where the depth is within 5 percent of normal depth. (That means the final depth in your direct step method is between 0.95 and 1.05 times normal depth.) Classify the flow profile (M-1, S-1, etc.).

The discharge through a rectangular channel 4.4 m wide is 16 m3/s. The Manning’s coefficient n is 0.03. Determine the normal depth when the slope is 0.008. Check whether the flow is sub or supercritical. If the normal depth is to be kept at 2 m, determine the slope.

A 50 m3/s is conveyed down a 5-m wide rectangular channel (n = 0.012) with a slope of 0.02 m/m. The channel transitions into a second channel with a slope of 0.0008 m/m. A hydraulic jump occurs on the downstream channel. What is the downstream depth of the second channel after the jump? What is the depth of the water before the jump? What is the energy loss due to the jump? How long is the total distance of the...
