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 two significant digits (Example: 91%). [Hint: Assume a realistic data set and iterate using ONLINE CHANNEL 03].

  2. In a clear and concise way, explain the physical reason for this behavior.
