HOMEWORK No. 1

  1. Assume flow in a circular culvert. Determine the percentage of flow depth at which the discharge is a maximum. Use an accuracy of three significant digits (Example: 91.2%). [Hint: Assume a realistic data set and iterate using ONLINE CHANNEL 03].

  2. Explain the physical reason for this behavior.
