Determine the depth and celerity of the positive surge wave resulting from (a) sudden, partial gate closure which reduces the downstream discharge to 10 m3/s, and (b) sudden total gate closure.
Solution
b=4m Q1 = 18 m3/s Y1 = 2.25 m

2. At low tide the steady freshwater flow in an estuarial channel 20 m wide, be slope 0.0005, Mannings roughness coefficient 0.02 is 20 m3/s. A tidal bore forms on the flood tide and is observed to propagate upstream at a celerity of 4 m/s. Neglecting the density difference between the freshwater and the saline water determine the depth and discharge immediately after the bore has passed.
Solution
Q = 20 m3/s B = 20 m n = 0.02 S = 0.0005 C = 4 m/s

3. A rectangular channel 10 m wide, bed slope 0.001, Mannings roughness coefficient 0.015, receives inflow from a reservoir with a gated inlet. When a steady discharge of 30 m3/s is being conveyed the gate is suddenly opened to release a discharge of 70 m3/s. Calculate the initial celerity and depth of the surge wave.
Solution
b = 10 m S = 0.0001 n = 0.015 Q2=30 m3/s Q1=70 m3/s

4. A steady discharge of 30 m3/s is conveyed in arectangular channel of bed width 9 m at a depth of 3 m. A control gate at the inlet is suddenly partially closed reducing the inflow to 10 m3/s. Assuming the channel to be frictionless determine the depth behind the surge wave and the time taken for the trough of the wave to pass a point 500 m downstream.
Solution
b=9m Q2 = 30 m3/s y2 = 3 m Q1 = 10 m3/s

5. A rectangular channel 30 m wide discharges 60 m3/s at a uniform flow depth of 2.5 m into a reservoir. The levels of water in the channel and reservoir at the reservoir inlet are initially equal. Water in the reservoir is released rapidly so that the level falls at the rate of 1 m per hour. Neglecting friction and the channel slope determine the time taken for the level in the channel to fall 0.5 m at a section 1 km upstream from the reservoir.
