An abrupt rise of 1m was designed to control a hydraulic jump generated after a 5 m wide sluice gate with an opening of 0.25 m by a flow discharge of 15 m³/s. The flow depth over the rise was 1.25 m. (a) Discuss about the stability of the jump (Submerges or washes out?). (b) Find the flow depth over rise to form a stable jump at x=5(h+y3) if the abrupt rise reduces to 0.75 m.

Water flows in a trapezoidal channel at a depth of 40cm and with a velocity of 10m/s. An obstruction causes a hydraulic jump to be formed. What is the depth of flow downstream of the jump? The bottom width of the channel is 5m, and the side slopes are 1 vertical to 1 horizontal.
A trapezoidal cross-section mansonry dam (sg=2.4) with one vertical and one horizontal base is 24 meters high. It has a crest width of 2 meters and a base width of 12 meters. If the resultant pressure contacts the base and the outer edge of the middle third, or 2m from the centre of the base, what should be the vertical depth of the water? There is no hydrostatic pressure. Answer: h= 21.4m
Consider the steady open channel flow of water in the smooth constriction shown in plan view in Figure P10.46. At position 1, the depth is Y1, the width is B1 and the Froude number F1 = 4. A similar notation is used at positions 2, 3 and 4. A hydraulic jump is observed just downstream of position 2 where the Froude number F2 = 2. You may assume one-dimensional flow. (a) Find Y2, the depth at position 2, in terms of Y1. (b) Find Y3, the depth just downstream of the hydraulic jump, in terms of Y1. (c) Find F3, the Froude number just downstream of the hydraulic jump. (d) Find F4, the Froude number at the exit, given that Y3/Y4 = 1.2. (e) Find B4/B1.
A trapezoidal channel with 3.0 bottom width and 1:1 side slope carries a discharge of 10?3 ? at a slope of 12cm/km. A hydraulic jump is formed in the channel with an initial depth of 0.6 m. Calculate the momentum function, the critical depth, and the conjugate depth.

Refer to Problem 8.4. Using the flow net drawn, calculate the hydraulic uplift force at the base of the hydraulic structure per meter length ( measured along the axis of the structure).
The rectangular channel is 3 m wide and caries a flow of 10 m3/s. At the 3.5 m drop, water is at the critical depth. Downstream of the drop, the depth = 2 m after the hydraulic jump. The head loss due to the jump = 2 m. (a) What is the depth of water before the jump? Note that the depth you calculate must be in the supercritical range. (b) What is the head loss due to the 2.5 m drop?
A bore is a hydraulic jump that propagates upstream into astill or slower-moving fluid, as in Fig. on theSée-Sélune channel, near Mont Saint Michel in northwestFrance. The bore is moving at about 10 ft/s and is about onefoot high. Estimate (a) the depth of the water in this areaand (b) the velocity induced by the wave.

Q4) A rectangular open channel of width 3.0 m carries a discharge of 2.5 m3/s at an average velocity of 0.6 m/s. Determine the maximum possible constriction in width without affecting the upstream depth, assuming friction losses through the constriction are negligible. If the constriction is associated with a smooth upwards step in the bed of 0.2 m, determine the minimum channel width for the same upstream condition.
