Question: A wide rectangular channel has a sluice gate to regulate the flow. When the approach flow from upstream is 7 0 m 3 s ,

A wide rectangular channel has a sluice gate to regulate the flow. When the approach flow from upstream is 70m3s, the water depth just upstream of the gate is 6 m .
(a) What is the opening of the sluice gate?
(b) If there are blocks to form a hydraulic jump with a downstream pool depth of 3 m , what is the total force of the blocks?
(c) What are the energy losses across the hydraulic jump for (b)?
(d) If there are no blocks in place and a hydraulic jump is formed downstream of the gate, what is the pool level?
(e) What are the energy losses across the jump in (d)?
(f) Explain why energy losses are different in (C) and (e)?.
