Question 1.
What is meant by a prismatic channel?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the shape and size of a channel.
Question 2.
Define steady flow.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the factors that remain constant.
3Question 3.
What defines gradually varied flow?
- Steady flow with constant depth
- Flow depth changes gradually
- Rapidly changing flow
- Uniform flow properties
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the meaning of 'gradual' in fluid dynamics.
4Question 4.
True or False: A small channel bed slope is not significant in gradually varied flow.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how slope impacts fluid behavior.
Question 5.
If a channel is modified to have varying cross-sections, how would that impact the assumptions of gradually varied flow? Discuss potential issues and recalibration needed for analysis.
Show hintHide hint
Think of what happens when a uniform input leads to varied outputs.
Question 6.
Consider waters flowing down a sloped channel. If the slope exceeds 'a small slope', describe the changes in flow characteristics and stability.
