    This document contains the homework assignment for CE 351 - Fall 2014 due on September 12. It includes 4 problems related to fluid mechanics: 1) calculating change in storage in a river reach, 2) determining velocity components from a given velocity field, 3) calculating average velocity and plotting mass flux in a pipe, and 4) determining the angle required for salt water to exert the same force as fresh water on a dam.

    Homework 2
    Due Friday, September 12



    1. A rectangular section of a river has a discharge of 30m3/s where the cross section
    is 12m wide and 1.25m deep. Downstream, at another cross section, the river is 9m
    wide and the same depth, but the velocity increases by 10%. Assuming steady,
    incompressible flow, what is the net change in storage between the cross sections in
    a 30 minute period of time?



    2. The x-component of a 2-D velocity field is given by ! = sin /2 . What is the
    y-component of the velocity, ! , if the flow is steady-state and the fluid is
    incompressible?



    3. Water flows through a cylindrical pipe with a discharge of 0.1m3/s as shown
    below. Find the average velocity at the control surfaces A and B, then plot (by hand)
    the distribution of the mass flux along surface B. Assume that the velocity at the
    control surfaces is parallel to the long axis of the pipe (the solid black arrow) and
    use = 125! .





    4. The face of a 100m wide rectangular dam is built at an angle of 60 degrees above
    the horizontal and holds back a body of fresh water that is 30m deep at the face of
    the dam. Assuming hydrostatic conditions, what angle would be needed in order for
    an equivalent body of salt water to exert the same force on the dam? Assume the
    density of fresh water to be 1000kg/m3 and the density of salt water to be
    1030kg/m3.
