    This document provides solutions to questions about various hydraulic structures: - Sluice gates control and measure flow rates in open channels. Weirs measure flow rates across open channels. Spillways allow excess reservoir water to flow downstream safely. Energy dissipators reduce flow velocity and energy downstream of spillways. - For a 1.5m wide sluice gate discharging 3m/s with a 10cm opening, 3m upstream depth and 2m downstream depth, the discharge is 0.3887m3/s. - For a 0.5m wide trapezoidal Cippoletti weir with 1:4 side slopes and a 25cm head, the discharge is 0.1246m

    Q2. A 1.5 m-wide sluice gate with an opening of 10 cm is discharging water at a rate of 3
    m/s. Calculate the flow discharge of the flow if the flow depth behind the sluice gate is 3
    m and the downstream flow depth is 2 m. Coefficient of discharge Cd = 0.585.
    Solution:
    Given yo = 3 m, y2 = 2 m, b = 1.5 m, a = 0.1 m, V1 = 3 m/s, and Cd = 0.585
    Velocity of flow through sluice gate

    Q3. A trapezoidal weir with side slope 1:4 and width 0.5 m is used to measure flow rate of a
    river. Compute the discharge if the head above the weir is 25 cm and Cd = 0.675.
    Solution:

    Trapezoidal weir with side slope 1:4 Cippoletti weir


    Given L = 0.5 m, H1 = 0.25 m, and Cd = 0.675
