Solution
Construct the M-y diagram for a triangular
channel with an apex angle of 90° and a
discharge of 10.0 m3/s.
Solution
Also called sequent depth
Have the same pressure-momentum force
Defined as the initial and final depths of hydraulic
jump in the sense that they occur simultaneously.

Conjugate depths
Critical depth
A trapezoidal channel with 3.0 m bottom
width and 1:1 slope carries a discharge of 10.0
m3/s at a slope of 12cm/km. A hydraulic jump
is formed in the channel with an initial depth
of 0.6m. Calculate the momentum function,
the critical depth, and the conjugate depth.

A wide channel carries a specific discharge of
2.2 m2/s. A hydraulic jump is formed in the
channel, after which the depth of flow is found
to be 2.1 m. Find the critical depth, the initial
depth of the jump, the energy lost, and the
horsepower lost through the jump per unit
width of the channel.
