Question: ( b ) Water is impounded behind a vertical sluice gate to a depth of 4 . 1 m . An opening below the sluice

(b) Water is impounded behind a vertical sluice gate to a depth of 4.1m. An opening
below the sluice gate allows water to flow at a depth of 0.6m into a wide
rectangular channel. The longitudinal bed slope of the channel is 0.005 and the
downstream flow depth is controlled to 2m. The Manning's roughness coefficient
for the channel may be taken as 0.015.
(i) Verify that a hydraulic jump will occur in these circumstances.
(ii) Estimate the jump location relative to the sluice gate.

(iii) Sketch the water surface profile in the channel with consideration being given
to the classification of gradually varied flow profiles.

Note: You may assume that energy losses at the sluice gate are negligible.
