.(20 pts) A canal drop structure is constructed as a concrete rectangular channel 5 feet in width with a Mannings n of 0.015. The drop is in uniform flow and has bed slope is 0.09 ft/ft. The canal design flow rate is 65 ft3/s. At the bottom of the drop the rectangular canal bed is horizontal.
a. What classification of hydraulic jump would occur at the bottom of the drop? Why?
b. What would be the flow depth downstream of the hydraulic jump?
c. What is the estimated energy loss in the hydraulic jump?
d. What are two estimates of the hydraulic jump length using:
i. Safranez equation
ii. Bakhmetef equation
