Question 1: (50 marks)
Water is flowing in a rectangular channel with a width b=4.5m, a channel bottom slope S0=
0.00045, and a Manning coefficient n=0.012. A sluice gate is placed in the channel and the
water depth immediately downstream of the sluice gate is measured to be 0.3m with a flow
velocity of 6.0ms.
a) Calculate the critical and uniform flow depths for the channel.
b) Calculate the flow depth immediately upstream of the sluice gate, assuming there are no
losses across the sluice gate.
c) Calculate the flow depth immediately upstream of the hydraulic jump that forms downstream
of the sluice gate to return the flow to subcritical flow conditions.
d) Classify the water surface profiles upstream of the sluice gate, and between the sluice gate
and the hydraulic jump that forms downstream of the sluice gate.
e) Using the standard step method and a single intermediate flow depth calculate how far
downstream of the sluice gate the hydraulic jump forms, summarizing your calculations in
the attached table.
