Problem : Consider the socalled "Venturi flume", depicted below. This device, which is just a bump on the
bottom of the channel, is used to determine flowrate in a water channel. Assuming a uniform velocity through
each vertical cross section and an ideal fluid, what is the flowrate per unit width of the channel given a channel
that is m deep, flowing over a m bump, and with a depression on the surface of depth m forming on the
surface of the water. Note image is a bit distorted...bottom of channel should be flat except for the bump and top
of channel should be flat except for depression, like in Prob in your book.
