Hydraulic Jumps and Non-Uniform Open Channel Flow - 2 PDH
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, the student will
-
Be able to determine the critical depth for a specified volumetric flow rate through a rectangular channel of specified bottom width.
-
Be able to determine the critical slope for a specified volumetric flow rate through an open channel of specified shape, size, & Manning roughness coefficient, with known critical depth.
-
Be able to determine whether a specified volumetric flow rate through an open channel of given shape & size, with known depth of flow will be critical, subcritical or supercritical flow.
-
Be able to calculate the depth of flow after a hydraulic jump if given the depth before the hydraulic jump, the volumetric flow rate and the shape and dimensions of the open channel.
-
Be able to identify which type of surface profile (e.g. M1, M2, M3, S1, S2, S3, etc.) is present in a specified gradually varied flow situation.
-
Be able to carry out a stepwise calculation of the surface profile for a specified, gradually varied, non-uniform open channel flow.
