Water flowing in a wide channel encounters a 22-cm-high bump at the bottom of the channel. If the flow depth is 1.2 m and the velocity is 2.5 m/s before the bump, determine if the flow is choked over the bump, and discuss.
In order to determine the flow in a rectangular channel, a
75-mm-high bump is added on its bottom surface. The
measured depth of flow at the bump is 1.25 m. The flow is
uniform throughout the cross-sections at A and B, and the
channel has a width of 1.2 m. Assume the fluid is an ideal fluid,
that is, incompressible and frictionless.
