formation of hydraulic jump is necessary for dissipation of the excess kinetic energy downstream of spillways and gates. hydraulic jump stilling basins of sudden expansion are one of the energy dissipater structures which are used where the available tail water depth is less than the required sequent depths. in the present study to further reduce the hydraulic jump sequent depths ratio, a rough...

In the present study, the six legged concrete (SLC) elements are placed at the bed of a flume downstream of a chute in different layouts, densities and number of longitudinal rows of SLC elements. Each test was run for different flow conditions (Froude numbers ranged 5.3 to 8.1). During each test, the water surface profile, the roller length and the jump length measured.  Applying the experimen...

We present the results of a combined theoretical and experimental investigation of the influence of surface tension σ on the laminar circular hydraulic jump. An expression is deduced for the magnitude of the radial curvature force per unit length along a circular jump, Fc =−σ (s − R)/Rj , where Rj is the jump radius, and s and R are, respectively, the arclength along the jump surface and radial...

In an open channel, a sudden rise in water level induces a positive surge, or bore, that may develop as a hydraulic jump in translation. When the surge propagates against an adverse slope, it decelerates until it becomes a stationary hydraulic jump. Both hydraulic jumps and decelerating surges induce some intense turbulent mixing and have some major impact on the sediment transport in natural s...

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...

the control of hydraulic jump through thin-crested sills in a trapezoidal channel was studied theoretically as well as experimentally. the experiments were conducted in a specially designed stilling basin for 1:1 side slope. the results show that for a given side slope, end sill increases the stability of the jump within the stilling basin. it also causes a 13-15 percent reduction in the length...

A comparative performance analysis of the CFD platforms OpenFOAM and FLOW-3D is presented, focusing on a 3D swirling turbulent flow: a steady hydraulic jump at low Reynolds number. Turbulence is treated using RANS approach RNG k-ε. A Volume Of Fluid (VOF) method is used to track the airewater interface, consequently aeration is modeled using an EulerianeEulerian approach. Structured meshes of c...

We propose a theory of a steady circular hydraulic jump based on the shallowwater model obtained from the depth-averaged Navier–Stokes equations. The flow structure both upstream and downstream of the jump is determined by considering the flow over a plate of finite radius. The radius of the jump is found using the farfield conditions together with the jump conditions that include the effects o...
