Question

(a)
Water is flowing at normal depth in a 10 m wide trapezoidal channel with a
bed slope of 1:3000. The side slopes of the channel are 1H:2V. The channel
boundary is made of concrete with Manning's roughness coefficient as
0.012. If the flow rate is 10 m/s, calculate the height of a hump in the
channel that would produce critical conditions without a rise in the upstream
water level.
(b)
Comment on the upstream water depth in the channel Q3(a), if the provided
hump height is more than the value calculated above.
(c) Compute the depth of flow (h) in the composite channel section
(symmetrical) shown in Figure Q3 when it carries a discharge of 50 m'/s.
The bed slope of channel is 1 in 2500, and channel boundary is made of
glazed brick.
