Week 3 - Hydraulic Jump in Non-Uniform Flow
Week 3 - Hydraulic Jump in Non-Uniform Flow
A hydraulic jump occurs in a trapezoidal channel with side slopes of 1:1 and
base of 4 m. If the upstream depth before the jump is 1.0 m. and the
downstream depth is 2 m;
a. Determine the discharge.(Ans: Q=26.47 𝒎𝟑 /𝒔)
b. Determine the Froude Number after the jump.(Ans: F=0.576)
c. Determine the head loss after the jump.(Ans:HL = 0.18 m)
A stream carrying 3.72 𝑚3 /𝑠 per meter of width, with a velocity of 5.18 m/s is
discharge from the toe of a dam into a channel bed which has a negligible
slope.
a. What will be the height of the accompanying jump?(Ans: 0.937 m)
b. Calculate the head loss in the jump.(Ans: 0.1731 m)
c. What would be the amount of energy that will be absorbed in the jump
in hp? (Ans: 8.47 hp)
a. What is the depth of flow “𝑑1 “ at the bottom of the 5 % slope assuming
the 5 % slope is very long? (𝒅𝟏 =0.666 m)
b. What would be the critical depth in the rectangular cross section?(𝒅𝒄 =
𝟐. 𝟎𝟗 𝒎)
c. What would be the required depth of tail water “𝑑2 " at the section 2 to
cause a hydraulic jump to form on the flat slope? (𝒅𝟐 =4.92 m)
