According to Mannings equation:

Equating the term in brackets to zero and simplifying we get : (1.5 2.5Cos ) + Sin = 0
Solving for 0 by trial and error we get, = 5.278
The corresponding depth is : yn = 0.5(1 Cos (5.278 / 2))
or , yn / D0 = 0.938
In terms of flow velocity the Mannings equation gives:
R2/3=nV/S01/2
Then, for constant n and S0, the velocity is maximum, when R2/3 is maximum, or:
V R2/3
For a circular section: R2/3 =[1/4(1-Sin/)D0]2/3(see Table 1.1). Following the same reasoning as
for the discharge, the angle Corresponding to the maximum velocity is given by: (R2/3)/ =0

Consider the control volume:
The momentum equation establishes that the sum of forces acting on the control volume must be
equal to the net change in momentum inside the control volume, For the X-direction this is
expressed mathematically as,
(1)
(Q + dQ )(V + dV ) QV = F1 F2 F f + W sin
Where,
F1 =Pressure force at section 1
F2 = Pressure force at section 2
Ff = Force due to friction
W = Weight of the fluid inside the control volume
Assuming a hydrostatic pressure distribution, the pressure forces may be expressed as:
F1 = y A
F2 = y + dy A +

where,

y = location of the centroid of the cross section perpendicular to the flow,

Comment: At the upstream reservoir yRes>yc and in channel 1 y<yc There is a control section
near reservoir and channel 1 is steep.
Channel 2 is horizontal y n = and S o < S c The flow must go from supercritical to
subcritical through a hydraulic jump. At the free flow the critical depth must occur again.
b)
Comment: At the upstream reservoir yRes> yn >yc the control section is downstream and
channel 1 is mild with subcritical flow.
In channel 2, the flow becomes super critical after the slope changes from mild to steep. Because
the down stream reservoir is very high a hydraulic jump is formed to raise the water level over
the critical depth.

Comment:
Both channels are mild (yn >yc always)

The problem will be illustrated with several possible combinations of channel slope and gate
openings close and far from the reservoir. The more appropriate location for the gate will be
suggested based on the analysis.

MILD CHANNEL
a) Gate located far from the lake outlet. Gate opening less than the critical depth.
Cases (a ) and (b) will be the same for a gate near the lake. The water level at the gate position is
very close to the reservoir level, therefore; if the gate is located very far from the reservoir, the
size of it will increase considerably. From this point of view to locate the gate near the reservoir
is more convenient.
STEEP CHANNEL

For a wide rectangular, derive expressions for the channel bottom slope to be mild, step and
critical.
By definition a mild channel satisfy S c S o and a steep channel satisfy

Therefore, we look for an expression for S c in the terms of the critical flow conditions and
determine the channel type (mild or steep) using these inequalities.
For a wide rectangular channel the hydraulic radius can be approximated as:
