Question: Example 3 . 5 . A hydraulic jump is to be formed in a rectangular channel of 1 0 m wide. The discharge is 1

Example 3.5. A hydraulic jump is to be formed in a rectangular channel of 10m wide. The discharge is 150m3s. The tail water depth in the channel is 4m, which is 1m less than the depth required for the formation of the jump without any baffle blocks. Therefore, baffle blocks should be placed for the formation of the jump. The force on the baffle blocks can be estimated as Fb=2AE1, where A is the frontal area of the baffle blocks, E1 is the specific energy of the supercritical flow and =9810Nm3 is the specific weight of the water.
a) Find the total frontal area of the baffle blocks.
b) Show on the specific force curve the initial and the sequent depths of the jump without baffle blocks.
c) Show on the same specific force curve the initial and the sequent depths of the jump with the 'baffle blocks and force on the baffle blocks.
