PART –A (6 x 2=12 marks)

1. Define Specific Energy.

2. Define Prismatic and Non – Prismatic channels.

3. What do you meant by Afflux? Write down also the formula for it?

4. Define Critical Depth with its formula.

5. What do you meant by Length of Back water Curve and write also the formula for it?

6. Define Rapidly Varied Flow (RVF).

PART –B (2 x 16 = 32 marks)
7 a) Explain in detail about the most Economical Trapezoidal Channel or Best Trapezoidal channel with a neat Sketch.
(16)
(Or)
b) A river of 90 m wide and 3m deep has stable bed and vertical banks with a bed slope of 1 in 2500. Estimate the
length of back water curve produced by an afflux of 2m. Assume Manning’s in N = 0.035. (16)

8 a) What are the Assumptions made in the Gradually Varied Flow (GVF)? And also explain in detail about the Dynamic
Equations for the gradually varied Flow. (16)
(Or)
b) A river 100 m wide and 3 m deep has an average bed slope of 0.0005. Estimate the length of GVF profile produced
by a low dam which raises the water surface in the upstream by 1.5 m. Assume N = 0.035. Use Direct Step Method .
(16)

PART –C (2 x 8 = 16marks)

9. Explain briefly about the most economical Rectangular channel or Best Rectangular channel with a neat sketch. (8)

10. Explain in detail about the Types of Hydraulic Jump with a neat diagram. (8)
