A sluice gate is installed to control flow in a concrete lined rectangular channel that has a width of 1 meter. Discharge of 1.8m3s
passes under the sluice gate with an opening of 0.3m. Channel bed drops 3m over a length of 1km. Just upstream of sluice gate, water depth is 1.1m.
-Estimate downstream flow depth at a distance sufficiently away from sluice gate.
-Evaluate whether a hydraulic jump will occur downstream of sluice gate
-Estimate energy loss because of jump if a hydraulic jump occurs downstream of sluice gate.
-What type of flow profile you can expect upstream of sluice gate.
