In a 4m wide rectangular asphalt channel, a hydraulic jump occurs
where the channel slope changes. The upstream slope is 3100,
and the downstream slope is h1000. The upstream depth and
velocity are 0.5m and 8ms, respectively. The downstream flow is
uniform, and the velocity in the channel can be calculated using
the Manning equation:
V=KnRh23S012
where:
K=1(SI unit),K=1.49(BG unit)
n=0.016(asphalt)
Rh= hydraulic radius
S0= slope
