Experimental Study of Turbulent Fluctuations in Hydraulic Jumps
نویسندگان
چکیده
In an open channel, the transformation from a supercritical flow into a subcritical flow is a rapidly varied flow with large turbulent fluctuations, intense air entrainment, and substantial energy dissipation called a hydraulic jump. New experiments were conducted to quantify its fluctuating characteristics in terms of free-surface and two-phase flow properties for a wide range of Froude numbers (3.8 < F1 < 8.5) at relatively large Reynolds numbers (2.1 × 10 < R < 1.6 × 10). The time-averaged free-surface profile presented a self-similar profile. The longitudinal movements of the jump were observed, showing both fast and very slow fluctuations for all Froude numbers. The air–water flow measurements quantified the intense aeration of the roller. Overall the present findings demonstrated the strong interactions between the jump roller turbulence and free-surface fluctuations. DOI: 10.1061/(ASCE)HY.1943-7900.0001010. © 2015 American Society

Air Entrainment and Turbulence in Hydraulic Jumps: Free- Surface Fluctuations and Integral Turbulent Scales
An open channel flow can change from a supercritical to subcritical flow with a strong dissipative process: a hydraulic jump. Herein some new measurements of free-surface fluctuations next to the jump toe and integral turbulent scales in the roller are presented with a focus on turbulent hydraulic jumps with a marked roller. The results highlighted the fluctuating nature of the impingement peri...

متن کاملIntegral Turbulent Length and Time Scales in Hydraulic Jumps: an Experimental Investigation at Large Reynolds Numbers
A hydraulic jump is a rapidly-varied open channel flow characterised by the sudden transition from a supercritical flow motion to a subcritical regime. The transition is associated with a rapid increase of water depth, a highly turbulent flow with macro-scale vortices, significant kinetic energy dissipation, a two-phase flow region and some strong turbulence interactions with the free surface l...
متن کاملUnsteady Turbulence in a Shock: Physical and Numerical Modelling in Tidal Bores and Hydraulic Jumps
A turbulent flow is characterised by an unpredictable behaviour, a broad spectrum of length and time scales, and its strong mixing properties. Turbulent flows have a great mixing potential involving a wide range of vortical length scales. In steady flows, the turbulence measurements must be conducted at high frequency to resolve the small eddies and the viscous dissipation process. They must al...
متن کاملAir entrainment and turbulent fluctuations in hydraulic jumps
A hydraulic jump is the sudden transition from a high-velocity impinging flow into a turbulent roller in an open channel. Substantial amounts of air are entrapped at the impingement point, and significant free-surface fluctuations take place above the roller. In the present study, some physical modelling was conducted in a relatively large sized facility. The flow conditions included a wide ran...
