CE 625: Advanced Hydraulic Engineering

1. A circular culvert of 1.20-m diameter is flowing half full. If the discharge in the
channel is measured as 0.85 m3/s, calculate the Froude number of the flow and
Specific energy.

2. The alternate depths for a certain flow in a rectangular channel are 0.7 m and 3.0 m
respectively. Estimate the critical depth for the flow in the channel.

3. If y1 and y2 are the alternate depths in a triangular channel show that

where yc = critical depth. Show further that the specific energy E is given by

where,

4. A rectangular channel is to have critical flow and at the same time the wetted
perimeter is to be minimum. Show that for these two conditions to occur
simultaneously, the width of the channel must be equal to 8/9 times the minimum
specific energy head.

5. Fill in the missing data in the following table connected with critical depth
computation in triangular channels:
6. A 3.0-m wide rectangular channel carries a flow at 1.25 m depth. At a certain section
the width is reduced to 2.5 m and the channel bed raised by 0.20 m through a
streamlined hump.
(a) Estimate the discharge in the channel when the water surface drops by 0.15 m over
the hump.
(b) What change in the bed elevation at the contracted section would make the water
surface have the same elevation upstream and downstream of the contraction?
(The energy losses in the contraction can be neglected).

7. A rectangular channel is 2.5 m wide and conveys a discharge of 2.75 m3/s at a depth
of 0.90 m. A contraction of width is proposed at a section in this canal.
Calculate the water surface elevations in the contracted section as well as in an
upstream 2.5 m wide section when the width of the proposed contraction is
(a) 2.0 m and
(b) 1.5 m.
(Neglect energy losses in the transition).
