onlinechannel16.php:   Calculation of initial and sequent depths in a hydraulic jump

Initial [y1] and sequent {y2] depths in a hydraulic jump
Formulas:

Assume F1 = 2 and confirm, or iterate.
y2/y1 = (1/2) [(1 + 8F12)1/2 - 1]
y1 = 4 ΔE (y2/y1) / [(y2/y1) - 1]3
v1 = q/y1
F1 = v1/(gy1)1/2
INPUT DATA:
