A sluice gate used to control the flow in a horizontal channel of unit width is shown in the figure. d₁ = 1.0 m d₂ = 0.2 m It is observed that the depth of flow is 1.0 m upstream of the gate, while the depth is 0.2 m downstream of the gate. Assuming a smooth flow transition across the sluice gate, i.e., without any energy loss, and the acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/ s2, the discharge (in m³/s, up to two decimal places) passing under the sluice gate is.

Consider fully developed, two-dimensional channel flow—flow between two infinite parallel plates separated by distance h, with both the top plate and bottom plate stationary, and a forced pressure gradient dP/dx driving the flow as illustrated in Fig. (dP/dx is constant and negative.) The flow is steady, incompressible, and two-dimensional in the xyplane. The velocity components are given by u = (1/2? )(dP/dx) (y2 − hy) and ? = 0, where ? is the fluid’s viscosity.
