Q2. Discharge in a wide rectangular open channel can be found using the Manning's
0.5
roughness formulation of
- AR067 S.
°
where Q is the
discharge, n is the roughness coefficient, A is the cross-sectional area; R is the
hydraulic radius, and S, is the bed slope.
Given that R = h (flow depth), and A = 12h, and S, = 0.0025 and n = 0.0125;
Compute the flow depth (h) when Q = 120 m³/s, using the Newton's method. Start
with
ho =2 m initial guess and perform only a single iteration.
