Correct option is C
Khosla's formula is widely used to assess pressure distribution under weir or barrage floors, which is essential in designing safe and efficient structures to prevent uplift failures.
Key Concept:
· Khosla's theory is based on the
conformal transformation of the potential flow problem from the physical plane (zzz-plane) to the transformed plane (www-plane).
· Conformal transformation allows the complex flow patterns around the weir floor to be simplified, enabling the calculation of pressures and uplift forces.
· It is grounded in the principles of
potential flow, assuming the flow is steady, irrotational, and incompressible.
