A rectangular channel of width 12 ft has an upstream slope


A rectangular channel of width 12 ft has an upstream slope of 0.02 ft/ft and a downstream slope of 0.0005 ft/ft. Both reaches have lengths of 500 ft. The upstream reach has a Manning's roughness of 0.016 and the downstream reach has a roughness of 0.011. The design discharge is Q = 460 cfs, the low discharge is Q = 230 cfs, and the flood discharge is Q = 690 cfs. Using the direct step method by hand with 1 step, determine the location of the hydraulic jump relative to the slope break for the design discharge. Classify the jump type and calculate the energy lost.
