Question 2(35 marks)
A rectangular channel is 10ft wide and carries a flow of 400cfs at a normal depth of 3ft and Manning's roughness (n) of 0.017. If an obstruction causes the depth just upstream of the obstruction to be 8ft deep:
a) Why will a hydraulic jump form upstream of the obstruction? Explain in terms of the definition of hydraulic jumps, yn,yc and y.
b) What type of water profile would be present?
c) What is the slope of the channel at normal depth S0?
d) What is the conjugate depth of the hydraulic jump?
e) How far upstream from the obstruction will the jump be?
