Quiz 3

MIDTERM STREAM FLOW

TEST 1 TRUE OR FALSE
MIDTERM STREAM FLOW
Test 1 true or false

1. A stream is a body of water

with a current, kept within a bed
and banks. Depending on its
location or certain characteristics,
a stream may be referred to as
brook, creek, river, runnel or
tributary.
Test 1 true or false

2. Runnel is a broad channel in

the ground for liquid to flow
through.
Test 1 true or false

3. Discharge is a volume rate of

water flow, excluding any
suspended solids, dissolved
chemicals or biologic material
which is transported through a
given cross-sectional area
Test 1 true or false

4. Turbulent flow is a horizontal

turbulence in the form of a
corkscrew motion.
Test 1 true or false

5. Braided channel are channels

that develop when sediment go
above transport capacity, resulting
in deposition of several sand and
gravel bars.
Test 1 true or false

6. Straight channel is a channel

that generally has a central ridge
of deposited material
Test 1 true or false

7. Under the float method of

estimating flow, we take drop off
depth measurements to
determine average depth
Test 1 true or false

8. In determining the cross

sectional area of the channel for
float method we multiply average
depth times stream width
Test 1 true or false

9. Mannings equation by Engr

Robert Manning is a method that
can be used for open channels and
fully filled pipes when the flow
moves by force of gravity.
Test 1 true or false

10. Runoff downstream is a means

to collect water for storage in
dams for power generation of
water inclusion.
 TEST 2
IDENTIFICATION
MIDTERM STREAM FLOW
Test 2 identification

1. This is often shallow and an

inlet into a large body of water.
Test 2 identification

2. Refer to transition in either

direction, that is laminar-
turbulent transitional or
turbulent-laminar transitional
flow.
Test 2 identification

3. Flow in which particles may

move in any direction at any time,
while overall movement is in the
direction of the flow.
Test 2 identification

4. In physical geography, it is a
type of land form consisting of the
outline of a path of relatively
shallow and narrow body of fluid,
most commonly the confine of a
river, river delta or strait. It can be
either natural or human-made.
Test 2 identification

5. A very easy method to

estimate discharge by simply
measure the time to fill a
container of a known volume
Test 2 identification

6. Uses the Doppler Effect to

determine water velocity by sending
a sound pulse into the water and
measuring the change in frequency
of that sound pulse reflected back
by sediment or other particulates
being transported in the water.
Test 2 identification

7. Occurs when the volume of

water exceeds the capacity of the
channel.
Test 2 identification

8. A flow meter is a device for flow

measurement by _____ of its
propeller on the end
Test 2 identification

9. Float method requires the

measurement and calculation of the
cross sectional area as well as the
_____ it takes an object to float a
designated distance.
Test 2 identification

10. Hydrographs is a graph showing

the _____ versus time past a specific
point in a river or other channel or
conduit carrying flow.
