Question
Transcribed Image Text:Problem 7
Water is flowing in a channel with a rectangular cross-section. The
channel has a uniform width of b 10 m, and it is equipped with a broad-crested weir.
The height of flow in a channel far upstream of the weir is h1 2 m, while the weir is
==
hweir
=
0.8 m above the bed of the channel.
=
1. Assuming the flow over the weir is critical, calculate the flow rate in the channel by
iteratively solving for the critical depth he. Perform at least 3 iterations. Did the flow
rate converge?
2. Given the water depth immediately downstream of the weir is 90% of the critical
depth hc, what is the water depth after the flow experiences a hydraulic jump further
downstream?
3. How much energy is dissipated by the hydraulic jump?

hweir

downstream of the weir. Figure not to scale.
