Suppose that a stable hydraulic jump forms between the two sluice gates shown in Figure 5.15. If the flow depth downstream of a sluice gate is 61% of the gate opening (yg), determine the downstream gate opening (yg2) for the following conditions: y1 = 0.61 m, Q = 15 m3/s, b = 5 m. (Hint. Assume no loss of energy through a sluice gate.)
For the two-dimensional flow system shown below (units in meters):Compute the total flow rate under the Dam. X = 4, Y = 8. Note 1: Point A is located in the middle point of the equipotential lines. Point B is located in the middle point of the flow lines.Note 2: Assume e=0.8 (void ratio) and k=10^-3 cm/s (coeff. of permeability).Note 3: Datum is located at the bottom level of the water (right side of Dam).Note 4: Remember, the figure is drawn to scale. So, use the value of 2X+Y to estimate any dimension that you consider necessary.
