    The document provides two questions regarding hydraulic analysis of open channel flow. Question 1 involves calculating critical flow depth and classifying flow profiles upstream of a weir placed in a channel. Question 2 examines the consequences of constricting a channel width with bridge embankments and calculates expected flow depths for different bridge widths. Submittal details are provided for the assignment.

    SECTON 3

    folder to submit)

    Q1. (a) Critical depth occurs in an open channel when the specific energy is
    minimum.
    Sketch the corresponding flow depth versus specific energy graph. From this
    concept, derive the general equation used to determine critical flow depth in
    an open channel.
    (4 marks)

    (b) A rectangular channel 3.05 m wide carries 3.4 m 3/s uniform flow of water at a
    depth of 0.6 m. Suppose that an obstruction such as a weir is placed across
    the channel with the height of 0.2 m above the bottom.

    (i) Does this weir cause a hydraulic jump upstream of the weir? Why
    or why not?
    (4 marks)

    (ii) Calculate the flow depth above the weir, and just upstream of the weir.
    Classify the surface profile occur upstream of the weir. Sketch the resulting
    water-surface profile and energy line, showing the critical depth yc and
    normal depth yo.
    (12 marks)

    Q2. (a) An engineer is desired to analyze flow in an open channel in which the
    channel
    is designed to be constricted caused by placing bridge embankment at both
    sides of the channel. Explain the consequences due to the constriction.
    (4 marks)

    (b) Water is flowing uniformly with flow rate 18.6 m 3/s and water depth 1.2 m in
    a rectangular open channel of width 8 m. A temporary short span bridge is
    proposed to be constructed across the channel in which bridge embankment
    is needed at both sides of the channel causing the channel to be constricted
    under the proposed bridge.

    (i) Calculate the maximum channel width under the proposed bridge
    that will not cause backwater upstream.
    (5 marks)

    (ii) If the channel width under the proposed bridge is 4 m due to the
    unavoidable problem condition, calculate the expected flow depth
    under the bridge, at just upstream and at just downstream of the
    bridge.
    (6 marks)

    (iii) If the water depth just upstream of the proposed bridge is limited
    to be 0.2 m higher than the normal depth, calculate the channel width
    under the bridge.
    (5 marks)
