  1. Hydraulic Jump as an application of Momentum Equation

  2. Lab Jump in Flume (Right to Left)

  3. Hydraulic Jump in a Sink? • http://www.eng.vt.edu/fluids/msc/gallery/waves/sink.htm

  4. Hydraulic Jumps • Occurs when there is a sudden transition from supercritical (y < yc) to subcritical (y > yc) flow. • Examples of where this may occur are : • At the foot of a spillway • Where a channel slope suddenly turns flat.

  5. In analyzing hydraulic jumps we assume there is conservation of momentum, i.e. : We can algebraically manipulate this to find:

  6. y1 is known as the initial depth and is < yc (supercritical flow). • y2 is known as the sequent depth and is > yc (subcritical flow). • The energy loss in a hydraulic jump can be found by:

  7. Example Example 3.18, Streeter, et al. If 12 m3/sec of water per meter of width flows down a spillway onto a horizontal floor and the velocity is 20 m/sec, determine (a) the downstream depth required to cause a hydraulic jump, (b) the loss in energy head, and (c) the losses in power by the jump per meter of width.
