2. A spillway discharges a flood flow at a rate of 7.75 m³/s per metre width. At the downstream horizontal apron the depth of flow was found to be 0.50 m. What tail water depth is needed to form a hydraulic jump? If a jump is formed, find its (a) type, (b) length, (c) head loss, (d) energy loss as a percentage of the initial energy, and (e) profile.
3. Derive an expression for the discharge through a channel by Chezy's Formula.
4. The width of a horizontal rectangular channel is reduced from 3.5 m to 2.5 m and the floor is raised by 0.25 m in elevation at a given section. At the upstream section, the depth of flow is 2.0 m and the kinetic energy correction factor a is 1.15. If the drop in the water surface elevation at the contraction is 0.20 m, calculate the discharge if (a) the energy loss is neglected, and (b) the energy loss is one-tenth of the upstream velocity head. [The kinetic energy correction factor at the contracted section may be assumed to be unity].
5. What is critical depth in open-channel flow? For a given average flow velocity, how is it determined?

Note: Attempt any 2 questions from this section. (15x2=30)

Q.3. (a) Draw neat sketches of various shapes of draft tubes. (5)

Q.4. (a) A compound channel is symmetrical in cross section and has the following geometric properties. Main channel: Trapezoidal cross section, Bottom width = 15.0 m. Side slopes = 1.5 H : IV, Bank full depth = 3.0 m, Manning's coefficient = 0.03, Longitudinal slope = 0.0009 Flood plains: Width = 75 m, Side slope - 1.5 H : IV, Manning's coefficient = 0.05, Longitudinal slope = 0.0009. Compute the uniform flow discharge for a flow with total depth of 4.2 m by using DCM with either (i) diagonal interface, or (ii) vertical interface procedures. (12)

(b) A triangular channel with an apex angle of 75° carries a flow of 1.2 m³/s at a depth of 0.80 m. If the bed slope is 0.009, find the roughness coefficient of the channel. (03)
