Assignment of Open Channel
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.What are the best dimensions y and B for a rectangular brick channel designed to carry 5m 3/sec
of water in uniform flow with S0 = 0.001, and n = 0.015?
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.
