Question: Consider a 1 2 m long, 0 . 5 m wide rectangular channel with a longitudinal slope of 0 . 0 2 8 . There

Consider a 12m long, 0.5m wide rectangular channel with a longitudinal slope of 0.028. There are two gates in the channel, one at 7m(x=7m)from the inlet and the other at 12m(x=12m)from the inlet. The gate openings are 0.04m and 0.04m, respectively. The flow depth just upstream of the gates are 0.21m and 0.225m, respectively. The flow depths at x=0m and x=7.01m are 0.04m and 0.03m, respectively. For a flowrate of 30 lit/sec and Manning's n=0.008,
(i) identify the number of flow regimes in the channel
(ii) calculate flow depths along the channel,
(iii) plot the flow profiles in the channel and
(iv) find the location of hydraulic jumps
(v) on the same graph, plot the experimental measurements provided in the measurements.txt file below and provide your observations on the comparison with your calculated flow depths.
[Hint: Identify the flow regimes in the channel and their control sections. Once you identify the control sections, calculate the GVF and plot it with x on the x-axis and depth on the y-axis. This graph should have x ranging from x=0m to 12m. For reference, you may watch the video below.]
