A rectangular channel is 3.0 m wide and carries a discharge of 3.3 m³/s at a depth of 0.9 m. A smooth contraction of
the channel width is proposed at a section. Find the smallest contracted width that will not affect the upstream flow
conditions. Neglect the energy losses in the transition.
1Water flows through a rectangular sharp-crested weir with a channel width of 2 m. The channel depth is 1 m with a weir head of 0.1 m.
