In this paper we consider the flow of an incompressible, inviscid and homogeneous fluid over two obstacles in succession. The flow is assumed irrotational and solutions are sought in which a hydraulic fall occurs over the first obstacle with supercritical flow over the second. The method used to solve the problem is capable of calculating flows over topography of any shape.
