After heavy rain, water flows on a concrete surface at an average velocity of 1.3 m/s. If the water depth is 2 cm, determine whether the flow is subcritical or supercritical.
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.
Water flowing through a sluice gate undergoes a hydraulic jump, as shown. The velocity of the water is 1.25 m/s before reaching the gate and 3.2 m/s after the jump. Determine the flow rate of water through the gate per meter of width, the flow depths y1 and y2, and the energy dissipation ratio of the jump.
