Question: Problem 2 ( 3 0 points ) Rework example 5 . 4 below that we solved during class time if the length of the river

Problem 2(30 points)
Rework example 5.4 below that we solved during class time if the length of the river reach is L=700m
instead of L=500m. Also included below are some of the formulas and the Table used in class to solve
the problem for L=500m. When solving for L=700m, assume the free surface elevation at the upstream
section is 21.2 m (first guess).
Example 5-4. Determine the change in the river stage in a 500-it-long river reach for a
flow of 3000m3s. The cross section of the river in this reach consists of two subsections, a
main-charnel section and an overbank-channel section, both of which are approsimately
rectangular in section. The properties of each subsection at the downstream end of the reach
are Bn1=150m;a1=15.0m;Bz=300m; and zz=18.0m; and at the upstream end of the
reach are Bn=170m,tm=15.2m,Bn=250m, and zn=18.5m, where the subscripts m and
o tefer to the main channel and overbank channel, respectively. The values of the Manring
n for the main and overbank channels are 0.03 and 0.05. respectively. The river Mage at the
downstrean section is 20.5 inl.
The compututions are summarized in Tables-3.
Explomory Remarks on Table 5-3
The flow parameter are computed separitely for ench subsection, A trial stage
h=21.00m in column 3 is assumed of L=-500m. Le., in section 2. The K values in
column 7 are computed from Eq .(2-20). The energy coefticient in column 9 is oblained
from Eq,(3-41). The values of tolal head H in section 2 are computed using Eqs. (5-17) and
(5-18) und are listed in colamns 11 und 16, respectively. For the assumed value of
h=21,00m the two values of the total head in section 2,21.26m fin column 11 and
21.13 m in column 16, are not the same. Another value of h=20.87m, which is defermined
from Eq.(5-20), is wied, and it yields the sume value of the rotal head in section 2. The new
trial value is computed as follows.
For {:h22=5.5(m),fty2) from Eq.(5-19) is
f(y2*)=Ha(y2)-Ha1+bar(S)jx=21.26-20.80-0.33=0.13m
f(y2*) from Eq.(5-22) is
f'(p0*)=1-1.51.8029.813.733-30.57210-3(-300)23.733=0.973
The value of R2 in Eq.(5.22) is obtained by dividing the total area A in column 4 by the
total wetted perimeter P in column 5. The value of h2 from Eq-15-201 is
h2=21.001-0.130.973=20.87m
