The following data was collected for a cross-section of a river (y= 5 distance from bank, H = 5 depth, and U = velocity):
y, m | 0 | 1 | 3 | 5 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
H, m | 0 | 1 | 1.5 | 3 | 3.5 | 3.2 | 2 | 0 |
U, m/s | 0 | 0.1 | 0.12 | 0.2 | 0.25 | 0.3 | 0.15 | 0 |
Use numerical
(a) Average depth,
(b) Cross-sectional area,
(c) Average velocity, and
(d) The flow rate
Note that the cross-sectional area (Ac) and the flow rate (Q) can becomputed as
