Question:
A rectangular channel with a sluice gate has the following characteristics: Flow rate Q = 100 m3/s; channel bottom slope So 0.001 m/m; channel width w 10 m. and Manning's roughness coefficient n 0.015. The sluice gate exists across the channel and has an opening of 0.5 m (assuming this is the depth of flow passing through the gate.
Sluice Gate Downstream Upstream 10 m 0.5 m Complete the following calculations (Note: 3 decimal places are required for all numerical answers):
(1) (A) Calculate critical depth (Note: Critical depth is in the range of 2.100 100 m); (B) Calculate normal depth (Note: Normal depth is in the range of 2.100 - 3.100 m); and (C) Determine if the channel bottom slope is steep, mild or critical.
(2) Determine (A) if the flow upstream of the gate is chocked and (B) the water depth on the upstream side of the gate section (assuming no energy loss through the gate).
(3) (A) Determine if a hydraulic jump will occur downstream of the gate; If the hydraulic jump will occur, find (B) the initial depth the hydraulic jump (Note: the sequent depth is the normal depth in the channel) and (C) the energy loss of the hydraulic jump using the energy conservation equation; and (D) Sketch and label the water surface profiles upstream and downstream of the gate.
