Problem 10.99
A clay tile V-shaped channel, of included angle 60, is flowing at 1.98 m3/s on a slope of 0.33.
Is this a mild, critical, or steep slope? What type of gradually varied solution curve are we on if
the local water depth is (a) 1 m; (b) 2 m; (c) 3 m?
Solution 10.99
For clay tile, take n 0.014. For a 60 Vee-channel, from Example 10.5 of the text, A = y2cot60
and Rh = (y/2)cos60. For uniform flow,
Problem 10.100
If bottom friction is included in the sluice gate flow of Prob. 10.84, the depths (y1, y2, y3) will
vary with x. Sketch the type and shape of gradually varied solution curve in each region (1,2,3)
and show the regions of rapidly varying flow.
Problem 10.84*
Consider the flow under the sluice gate of Fig. P10.84. If y1 = 10 ft and all losses are neglected
except the dissipation in the jump, calculate y2 and y3 and the percentage of dissipation, and
sketch the flow to scale with the EGL included. The channel is horizontal and wide.
