Open Channel Hydraulics Assignment (10%) for Civil 3rd Year.

Be in a group of Five Students.

Show Your Steps Clearly

1. A lined trapezoidal section has one side vertical and the other side having a slope 1H:1V. The
channel has to deliver 8m3/sec when laid on a slope of 0.0002. What would be the dimensions of
the efficient section which requires minimum lining? Also calculate the corresponding mean
velocity if manning’s n is 0.015.

2. A channel has vertical walls 1.5m apart and semicircular invert. If the centerline depth is 1m
and the bed slope is 1 in 2500, what would be the value of C in the Chezy formula is the discharge
is 0.60 m3/sec?

3. A triangular channel of Apex angle 90° and a rectangular channel of the same material have the
same bed slope. If the rectangular channel has same depth of flow equal to width of channel and
flow areas in both channels are same, find the ratio of discharges in rectangular and triangular
channels respectively. Use manning roughness equation for estimation of velocity.

4. A river 100 m wide and 3.0 m deep has an average bed slope of 0.0005. Estimate the length of
GVF profile produced by a low dam which raises the water surface just upstream if it by 1.50 m.
Assume n = 0.035.

5. The flow in a wide rectangular channel of bed slope So= 0.0005 and n= 0.020 is controlled at
the upstream end by a sluice gate. At a certain time, the sluice gate was adjusted to discharge
7m3/sec per meter width of the channel with a depth of 0.4m at the vena contracta. Find the location
of the jump and the sequent depth.
