Question: Q 4 ( a ) Compute the normal depth of flow in a river for a discharge of 2 0 0 m 3 s .

Q4(a) Compute the normal depth of flow in a river for a discharge of 200m3s. The river may be approximated to be of a trapezoidal shaped section with the following characteristics: (a) base width 100m; (b) side slope 1V:2H; (c) Manning's friction factor 0.02; (d) channel longitudinal slope: 0.001.(8)
Q4(b) A rectangular channel of base width 10m is carrying a discharge of 20m3s. If the Manning's friction factor is 0.01 and the channel longitudinal slope 0.0001, compute the critical and normal depths. By comparing the two depths, determine whether uniform flow in the channel is sub- or super-critical. (6+2)
Q4(c) Explain the terms "Jump rating curve (JRC)" and "Tailwater rating curve (TWC)" for the spillway of a dam and the river downstream. Discuss the different types of energy dissipators recommended for the spillway, depending upon the relative position of the two curves. Explain with sketches. (4)
