B1. As shown in Figure B1, a 5m wide spillway with a bed slope of 0.4 conveys a 50m3s discharge from a reservoir. At the end of the spillway, a stilling basin of equal width is designed to dissipate energy carrying by the supercritical flow. A 0.5m high weir is used to control the tail water. The Manning coefficient is 0.02. A hydraulic jump is formed at the stilling basin and the flow becomes subcritical with a depth of y3=4m after the jump.
(a) Near the spillway entrance at A, give two types of flow profiles that are likely to occur before the flow establishes a normal depth;
[4 marks]
(b) Calculate the normal depth (y1) of the flow through the spillway;
[4 marks]
(c) Calculate the water depth (y2) before the hydraulic jump and the energy loss dissipated by the jump;
[5 marks]
(d) Calculate critical water depth ((:yc} if the flow above the weir crest is critical;
[2 marks]
(e) Calculate the force on the weir according to y3 and yc, assuming the water surface approaching the weir is nearly horizontal and the energy losses can be ignored.
