Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications
- Consider uniform water flow in a wide rectangular channel with a depth of 2 m made of unfinished concrete laid on a slope of 0.0022. Determine the flow rate of water per meter width of channel. Now water flows over a 15-cm-high bump. If the water surface over the bump remains flat (no rise or drop), determine the change in discharge rate of water per meter width of the channel.arrow_forwardConsider water flow through a wide rectangular channel undergoing a hydraulic jump. Show that the ratio of the Froude numbers before and after the jump can be expressed in terms of flow depths y1 and y2 before and afterthe jump, respectively, as Fr1/Fr2 = √(y2/y1)3arrow_forwardWater is flowing uniformly in a finished-concrete channel of trapezoidal cross section with a bottom width of 0.8 m, trapezoid angle of 50°, and a bottom angle of 0.4°. If the flow depth is measured to be 0.52 m, determine the flow rate of water through the channel.arrow_forward
- Water is discharged from a 5-m-deep lake into a finished concrete channel with a bottom slope of 0.004 through a sluice gate with a 0.7-m-high opening at the bottom. Shortly after supercritical uniform-flow conditions are established, the water undergoes a hydraulic jump. Determine the flow depth,velocity, and Froude number after the jump. Disregard the bottom slope when analyzing the hydraulic jump.arrow_forwardWater flows in a 9-m-wide rectangular open channel at a rate of 55 m3/s. If the flow depth is 2.4 m, the Froude number is (a) 0.682 (b) 0.787 (c) 0.525 (d) 1.00 (e) 2.65arrow_forwardWhat is the driving force for flow in an open channel? How is the flow rate in an open channel established?arrow_forward
- Water at 20°C flows in a partially full 4-m-diameter circular channel at an average velocity of 2 m/s. If the maximum water depth is 1 m, determine the hydraulic radius, the Reynolds number, and the flow regime.arrow_forwardWater flows steadily in a 1.75-m-wide rectangular channel at a rate of 0.85 m3/s. If the flow depth is 0.40 m, determine the flow velocity and if the flow is subcritical or supercritical. Also determine the alternate flow depth if the character of flow were to change.arrow_forwardWater is flowing uniformly in a rectangular open channel with unfinished-concrete surfaces. The channel width is 6 m, the flow depth is 2 m, and the bottom slope is 0.004. Determine if the channel should be classified as mild, critical, or steep for this flowarrow_forward

For a given average flow velocity, how is it determined?arrow_forwardAt what depth will water flow in a 4 m wide rectangular channel if n=0.018, S0=0.0009, and Q=7m^3/s?arrow_forwardWater flows half-full through a hexagonal channel of bottom width 2 m at a rate of 60 m3/s.
