10.6.8 WP Water flows in a rectangular channel with velocity V=6ms. A gate at the end of the channel is suddenly closed so that a wave (a moving hydraulic jump) travels upstream with velocity Vw=2ms. Determine the depths ahead of and behind the wave. Note that this is an unsteady problem for a stationary observer. However, for an observer moving to the left with velocity Vw, the flow appears as a steady hydraulic jump.
