Q.1 (a) The depth of water upstream of a spillway is 5.0m and the spillway has a (9)
discharge of 1.2 m3/sec per meter of width occurring over the spillway.
What depth y2 will exist downstream of the hydraulic jump? Assume
negligible energy loss over the spillway.
(b) Design an irrigation channel using Kennedy’s theory, to carry a discharge of (8)
40 cumecs. Take n = 0.0225 and m = 1.05. The longitudinal slope of the
channel is 1 in 5000. Assume other reasonable data, if missing.
(c) Design the section of a channel for the maximum discharge with the (8)
following data:
Bed slope = 1 in 5000
Available silt size = 0.2 mm
Side slope = 1.5:1
Q.2 (a) Water is discharging under the sluice gate as shown below causes a hydraulic (10)
jump. Compute the flow depths (y2 and y3) and corresponding velocities, the
head loss and energy dissipation ratio of the hydraulic jump.
 (b) A dam raises the water level to 3m at the end of a wide rectangular channel. (9)
The normal depth and critical depth for a particular flow scenario are 2m and
2.5m respectively, The longitudinal slope for the channel is 0.0001. Compute
the length of the resulting flow profile between the dam site and the location
where the depth is 2.7m using Bresse method.
(c) The bed width of a rectangular channel is 24 m and the depth of flow is 6m. (6)
The discharge in the canal is 86 cumecs. The bed slope of the channel is 1 in
4000. Assume Chezy’s constant C = 60. Determine the slope of the free
water surface.
Q.3 (a) The values of variables in connection with a hydraulic jump in horizontal (8)
rectangular channel are given in the table below. Compute the values of the
other variables in the table.

(b) A trapezoidal channel having b = 6.09m, z = 2, S0 = 0.0016 and n = 0.025 (9)

carries a discharge of 12.0 m3/sec. Compute the backwater profile created by
the dam which backs up the water to a depth of 1.52m immediately behind
the dam by direct step method. The upstream end of the profile is assumed at
a depth equal to 1% greater than the normal depth of the channel. Given yc =
0.68m.
(c) An irrigation canal has to carry a discharge of 30 m3/sec through a coarse (8)
non-cohesive material having d50 = 2.5 cm and d75 = 3.0 cm and n = 0.025.
The angle of repose of the perimeter material is 32O. The canal is to be a
trapezoidal channel with z = 2 and laid on a longitudinal slope of 1 in 1000.
Design the channel using the Tractive Force Method.
