To find out manning's constant and chezy's constant practically in the Lab

Both formulae are empirical, but the Manning formula is widely accepted as more accurate and is the base formula still in current use for all open channel flow analysis. Manning’s formula was proposed by Robert Manning (an Irish engineer) to calculate uniform flow in the open channels. It is probably the most widely used uniform-flow formula around the world. Its extensive usage is due to the following reasons: (i) The majority of open channel flows lies in the rough turbulent region; (ii) It is simple in form and the formula is well proven by much practical experience. Manning’s formula shall not be applied in situations where the Reynolds number effect is predominant. For the Chezy formula, it is less commonly used owing to insufficient information to find out equivalent roughness and it is not backed by sufficient experimental and field data. However, in smooth boundaries, the Chezy formula shall be adopted instead of Manning’s formula.

hydraulic jump A  hydraulic jump  is a phenomenon in the science of  hydraulics  that is frequently observed in open channel flow such as rivers and spillways. When liquid at high velocity discharges into a zone of lower velocity, a rather abrupt rise occurs in the liquid surface. What causes a hydraulic jump? A  hydraulic jump  occurs when the upstream flow is supercritical (F>1). To have a  jump , there must be a flow impediment downstream. The downstream impediment could be a weir, a bridge abutment, a dam, or simply channel friction. Water depth increases during a  hydraulic jump  and energy is dissipated as turbulence. How do you calculate hydraulic jump? How do you calculate hydraulic jump? Equations for  Hydraulic Jump Calculations y2/y1 = (1/2)[-1 + (1 + 8Fr12)1/2] ; V1 = Q/(by1) ; and Fr1 = V1/(y1g)1/2. The upstream velocity, V1 and upstream Froude number, Fr1, need to be  calculated  first, using the last two equations, then the downstream depth of flow, y2 can be  calcula

  The demonstration of a hydraulic jump in rectangular open channel part- 2 !! Fluid mechanics -2 What is the hydraulic jump and its use? Industrial. The hydraulic jump is the most commonly used choice of design engineers for energy dissipation below spillways and outlets. A properly designed hydraulic jump can provide for 60-70% energy dissipation of the energy in the basin itself, limiting the damage to structures and the streambed. Types of Hydraulic Jumps – Undular Hydraulic Jump – Weak Jump – Oscillating Hydraulic Jump – Steady Hydraulic Jump – Strong Hydraulic Jump – What does Froude's number mean? The Froude number is a measurement of bulk flow characteristics such as waves, sand bedforms, flow/depth interactions at a cross-section or between boulders. The denominator represents the speed of a small wave on the water surface relative to the speed of the water, called wave celerity. What is the length of a hydraulic jump? In civil engineering, the hydraulic jump is us
