Water is stored behind a sluice gate to a depth of 5 m. The gate opening is 0.5 m and the contraction coefficient is 0.60. The channel is rectangular with a normal depth for the flow through the gate of 1.5 m.
a. Will a hydraulic jump form downstream of the gate, and, if so, what will be its conjugate depths?
b. If an end sill, functioning as a broad-crested weir, is constructed downstream of the gate as shown in Figure P13.33, what would be its maximum height so as to not affect the jump?
c. To what height can be sill be constructed so that it will not drown the jump?
