FLUID MECHANICS II (CE 223): ASSIGNMENT 4
EVEN SEMESTER 2024–2025

Make suitable assumptions whenever necessary.

1. The velocity distribution in a channel section may be approximated by the


equation, u = U(y/y0)n, in which u is the flow velocity at depth y; U is the flow
velocity at depth y0, and n = a constant equaling 1/7. Estimate the energy and
momentum coefficients.

2. The flow velocities measured at various flow depths in a wide rectangular


flume are listed in the following table. Determine the values of energy and
momentum coefficients.

3. In a partially full channel having a triangular cross section (Fig. 1), the rate of
discharge Q = kAR2/3, in which k = a constant, A = flow area, and R = hydraulic
radius. Determine the depth at which the discharge is maximum. For the
triangular channel section shown, A = [B−(h/√3)]h, and P = B + (4h/√3).

4. A 4 m wide rectangular channel is carrying 10 m3/s at a depth of 2.5 m. There


is a step rise of 0.2 m in the channel bottom. Assuming there are no losses at the
transition, determine the flow depth downstream of the bottom step. Does the
water surface rise or fall at the step?

5. Plot the specific energy versus depth curves for Q = 400, 600, and 800 m3/s in
a trapezoidal channel having a bottom width of 20 m and side slopes of 2H:1V.
Assume that the bottom slope is small. From these curves, determine the critical
depth for each discharge.

6. Compute the normal depth in a trapezoidal channel having a bottom width of


10 m, side slopes of 2H to 1V and carrying a flow of 30 m3/s. The slope of the
channel bottom is 0.001 and n = 0.013.

7. The flow depth in a long trapezoidal channel (bottom width = 8 m, side slopes
1:1) for a flow of 28 m3/s is 3 m. The channel bottom slope is 0.0001. Determine
the flow depth if the rate of discharge is doubled.

8. The bottom slope of a long trapezoidal channel (bottom width = 5 m, side


slopes = 1:1) is suddenly changed from 0.0005 to 0.05. The flow in the channel
is 50 m3/sec and the Manning’s n is 0.028. Compute the critical and normal flow
depths for both longitudinal slopes and sketch the water surface profile.

9. A mining company excavated a long 4 m wide, rectangular channel from a lake


to their mining site. The water level in the lake is 3 m above the channel bottom
at the entrance. If the bottom slope is 0.015 and Manning’s n is 0.025, determine
the rate of discharge and the flow depth at the site.

10. A hydraulic jump is formed in a 5 m wide outlet at a short distance downstream


of a control gate. If the flow depths just downstream of the gate is 2 m and the
outlet discharge is 150 m3/s, determine (a) flow depth downstream of the jump;
(b) thrust on the gate; and (c) head losses in the jump. Assume there are no
losses in the flow through the gate.
