Question 1.
What is gradually varied flow?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how depth changes in rivers.
Question 2.
Define normal depth.
Show hintHide hint
What equations help calculate the depth of water in uniform flow?
3Question 3.
What classification of flow occurs when y0 > yc?
- Supercritical
- Subcritical
- Critical
Show hintHide hint
Think about the meaning of 'mild slope'.
4Question 4.
Is it true that horizontal beds can sustain uniform flow?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider conditions of normal depth.
Question 5.
Given a channel with a mild slope where normal depth is 1.5 m and critical depth is 1 m, analyze how the flow behaves in this region and what happens if the slope becomes steep.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the implications of changing depth ratios.
Question 6.
Explain the flow scenario in a channel with an adverse slope. If the normal depth is reported as non-existent, describe the overall flow behavior.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how gravity and channel slope interact.
