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 used to dissipate stream energy. It is usually, so-called, the submerged hydraulic jump, maintained in the stilling basin downstream the flow control device. ... The length of the hydraulic jump (L0) is measured starting from a cross-section of the first conjugate depth (h1). Why does energy loss occur in hydraulic jumps? About hydraulic jumps The depth of supercritical flow, y1, 'jumps' up to its subcritical conjugate depth, y2, and the result of this abrupt change in flow conditions is considerable turbulence and Energy Loss, EL
