Examples From Chapter Four.

1. A wide rectangular channel carries a discharge intensity of 4m2/sec. The longitudinal slope of
the channel is 0.0005. Determine the gradually varied flow profile produced by a sudden drop in
the bed of channel. Assume Manning n = 0.025
2.A rectangular channel with a bottom width of 4.0 m and a bottom slope of 0.0008 has a discharge
of 1.50 m3/s. In a gradually varied flow in this channel, the depth at a certain location is found to
be 0.30 m. Assuming n = 0.016, determine the type of GVF profile.

Example 3. A rectangular channel of 4.0-m width has a Manning’s coefficient of 0.025. For a
discharge of 6.0 m3/s in this channel, identify the possible GVF profiles produced in the following
break in grades.

Solution
Example.4.
Example 5.
Example 6.

Example 7. A trapezoidal channel has a bed width B=5.0m, S0= 0.0004, side slope m=2H:1V and
n=0.02. The normal depth of flow y0=3.0m. If the channel empties into a pool at downstream end
and the pool elevation is 1.25m higher than the channel bed at the downstream end,

a) calculate the GVF profile from section having critical depth up to a section having a depth of
2.96m by direct step method
b) calculate the distance between two sections having depths of 2.30m and 2.80m respectively.
