Question: ( c ) A rectangular river channel is 5 . 4 m wide with manning's roughness n = 0 . 0 4 s m 1

(c) A rectangular river channel is 5.4m wide with manning's roughness n=0.04sm13 and a bed slop S0=0.0026. The flow in the river is 17.4m3s when the normal depth is 2.2m. A model investigation is to be undertaken in a rectangular laboratory flume that is 0.54m wide. To reproduce the river hydraulic performance in the flume, what similitude needs to be considered? Outline how the model should be constructed to reproduce the largest flow in the river by specifying the slope, roughness, water depth and flow rate in the flume.
