A hydraulic jump is formed in a 10-ft wide channel just downstream of a sluice gate for a discharge of 450 cfs. If the depths of flow are 30 ft and 2 ft just upstream and downstream of the gate, respectively, determine the depth of flow downstream of the jump. What is the energy loss in the jump? What is the thrust [Fgate = γ(ΔF)] on the gate? Illustrate the thrust on the specific force and specific energy diagrams for this problem.
