A 15-ft-high spillway is placed across a 15-ft-wide rectangular channel which is carrying a discharge of 600 cfs as shown in Figure P13.14. The water is flowing at an initial normal depth of 6 ft. The Francis C for the spillway is 3.33 relative to the actual head on the spillway.
a. To what depth will the water rise behind the spillway?
b. Ignoring losses on the face, what will be the water depth at the toe?
c. Will a hydraulic jump form downstream of the spillway?
