A 3-m wide rectangular channel (n = 0.02) has a discharge of 10 m3/s at a uniform flow (normal) depth of 0.8 m. A sluice gate at the downstream end of the channel controls the flow depth just upstream of the gate to a depth z. Determine the depth z so that a hydraulic depth is formed just upstream of the gate. What is the channel bottom slope? What is the headloss (energy loss) in the hydraulic jump?
