This chapter discusses hydraulic jumps, which occur when supercritical flow transforms to subcritical flow in open channels. It introduces the concept of specific energy and defines critical depth and velocity. The chapter also describes how to determine the depth of a direct or submerged hydraulic jump using formulas involving the Froude number. Finally, it classifies hydraulic jumps as direct or submerged depending on whether the tailwater depth is below or above the jump.
The document discusses the hydraulic jump, which is the rise in water level caused by the transformation from unstable supercritical flow to stable subcritical flow. It causes energy loss due to turbulence and eddies. Applications include mixing chemicals, maintaining downstream water levels for irrigation, and removing air from pipes. The hydraulic jump typically occurs below structures like weirs, due to obstructions, or changes in channel slope. It dissipates surplus energy and creates disturbances like eddies and reverse flow that can remove pollution. The problem finds the depth of flow after a hydraulic jump in a 4m wide channel with a discharge of 16 m3/s, given an upstream depth of 0.5m.

Energy and momentum principles in open channel flowBinu Khadka
The document discusses principles of energy and momentum in open channel flow. It defines specific energy as the total energy of water at a cross-section, and critical depth as the depth corresponding to minimum specific energy for a given discharge. Critical flow occurs when the Froude number equals 1. For a rectangular channel, the critical depth can be calculated as a function of discharge. Flow can be subcritical or supercritical depending on whether the depth is more or less than critical depth. The concepts are applied to analyze flow over humps, through contractions, and over weirs.
The document discusses open channel design for both rigid boundary and erodible channels. It describes the key steps in designing trapezoidal channels including determining depth, bed width, side slopes, and longitudinal slope. For rigid boundary channels, the most common design approach is to use Manning's equation to select dimensions that produce non-silting, non-scouring velocities. For erodible channels, two common methods are discussed: the permissible velocity method, which ensures the mean flow velocity is below erosion thresholds; and the tractive force method, which involves equating tractive forces to critical shear stresses of the channel material.
This document discusses orifices and mouthpieces used for measuring fluid flow rates. It defines an orifice as a small opening through which fluid can flow, and notes they are classified based on size, shape, edge shape, and whether submerged or not. Mouthpieces are short pipe sections used to measure flow, and are classified by position, shape, and whether the jet fills or runs free after contraction. The document also defines hydraulic coefficients - the coefficient of velocity, contraction, and discharge - which are ratios used to characterize actual versus theoretical flow properties.

2) Flow through pipes connected in parallel was also examined. The total flow (Q) equals the sum of individual pipe flows (Q1 + Q2). If pipe characteristics are the same, head loss will be equal in each pipe.
3) An example problem demonstrated calculating flow rate (Q) through two pipes in series where diameter changes over length. Q was found to be 0.158 m3/s. A second example calculated flow rates for two parallel pipes and the diameter required to replace

3) An example problem demonstrates designing a trapezoidal channel in non-erodible material to carry a discharge of 15 cubic meters per second with a
The document discusses dimensional analysis, similitude, and model analysis. It provides background on how dimensional analysis and model testing are used to study fluid mechanics problems. Dimensional analysis uses the dimensions of physical quantities to determine which parameters influence a phenomenon. Model testing in a laboratory allows measurements to be applied to larger scale systems using similitude. Buckingham's π-theorem is introduced as a way to non-dimensionalize variables when there are more variables than fundamental dimensions. Rayleigh's and Buckingham's methods are demonstrated on an example of determining the resisting force on an aircraft.
A broad crested weir with a crest height of 0.3m is located in a channel. With a measured head of 0.6m above the crest, the problem asks to calculate the rate of discharge per unit width, accounting for velocity of approach. Broad crested weirs follow the relationship that discharge per unit width (q) is proportional to the head (H) raised to the power of 3/2. Using this relationship and the given values of 0.3m for crest height and 0.6m for head, the problem is solved through trial and error to find the value of q.
Chapter 8:Hydraulic Jump and its charactersticsBinu Khadka
The document discusses hydraulic jumps, which occur when flow transitions from supercritical to subcritical. Hydraulic jumps are characterized by an abrupt rise in water surface with turbulence and eddies, dissipating energy. The depths before and after are called conjugate depths. Classification of jumps include undular, weak, oscillating and steady based on Froude number, and free, repelled and submerged based on tailwater depth. Key variables discussed are conjugate depths, jump height and length, and efficiency. Equations are presented for calculating conjugate depths based on conservation of specific force and energy.
A canal is an artificial channel constructed to carry water from a river or reservoir to fields. Canals are classified based on their source of water supply, financial purpose, function, boundary type, water discharge level, and alignment. Canal alignment should aim to irrigate the maximum area with minimum length and cost. The balancing depth is the depth of cutting where the amount of cut material equals the amount of fill. Canal lining reduces water seepage and includes hard surface materials like concrete and softer materials like compacted earth.
- Open channel flow occurs in natural settings like rivers and streams as well as human-made channels. It is characterized by a free surface boundary.
- Flow can be uniform, gradually varied, or rapidly varied depending on changes in depth and velocity over distance. Uniform flow maintains constant depth and velocity.
- Important parameters include the Froude number, specific energy, and wave speed. Hydraulic jumps and critical flow occur when the Froude number is 1.
- Flow is controlled using underflow gates, overflow gates, and weirs. Measurement relies on critical flow assumptions at weirs.

Restricting Hydraulic Jump Location Inside Stilling Basin for Maximum Energy ...IRJET Journal
This document presents a study on restricting the location of hydraulic jumps inside stilling basins for maximum energy dissipation. It discusses how 20% of dam failures are due to poor energy dissipation arrangements. The position of hydraulic jumps can vary with fluctuating discharges, reducing energy dissipation. To address this, the study proposes using a stepped weir at the end of the apron to control the jump location. A mathematical method is developed to design stepped weir geometries that form the desired post-jump depth for various discharges. Computational fluid dynamics simulations show that for different discharges, the designed stepped weirs restricted jumps to the desired location near the gate opening. The study concludes that stepped weirs can effectively dissip

3.1. INTRODUCTION
The most common application of the momentum equation in open-channel flow
deals with the analysis of the hydraulic jump. The rise in water level, which occurs during
the transformation of the unstable “rapid” or supercritical flow to the stable “tranquil” or
subcritical flow, is called hydraulic jump, manifesting itself as a standing wave. At the
place, where the hydraulic jump occurs, a lot of energy of the flowing liquid is dissipated
(mainly into heat energy). This hydraulic jump is said to be a dissipator of the surplus
energy of the water. Beyond the hydraulic jump, the water flows with a greater depth, and
therefore with a less velocity.
The hydraulic jump has many practical and useful applications. Among them are the
following:
Reduction of the energy and velocity downstream of a dam or chute in order to
minimize and control erosion of the channel bed.
Raising of the downstream water level in irrigation channels.
Acting as a mixing device for the addition and mixing of chemicals in industrial
and water and wastewater treatment plants. In natural channels the hydraulic jump
is also used to provide aeration of the water for pollution control purposes.
However, before dealing with the hydraulic jump in detail, it is necessary to understand the
principle of the so-called specific energy. We will apply this principle for explaining the
hydraulic jump phenomenon.
In the following the flow is supposed to be two-dimenssional.

3.2. SPECIFIC ENERGY
3.2.1. Specific energy
Fig. 3.1. Specific-energy head of a flowing liquid
The specific-energy head, E, of a flowing liquid is defined as the energy head with respect
to a datum plane, for instance passing through the bottom of the channel as shown in Fig.
3.1. Mathematically, the specific-energy head reads as:
2
V
E h
2g
(3-1)
where h = depth of liquid flow, and
V = mean velocity of the liquid.
The specific-energy head can be written as:
2
s k
V
E h E E
2g
where Es = h = static-energy head (also known as potential energy head), and
2 2
k 2
V q
E
2g 2gh
= kinetic-energy head (depth averaged),
with q = discharge per unit width.
Plotting the specific-energy diagram for a channel (water depth h along the vertical axis),
may conveniently be done by first drawing the two (independent) curves for static energy
and kinetic energy and then adding the respective ordinates. The result is the required
specific-energy head curve.

Chapter 3: HYDRAULIC JUMP 48
Closer inspection shows, that the curve for the static-energy head (i.e. Es = h) is a straight
line through the origin, at 45 with the horizontal. The curve for the kinetic-energy head
(i.e.
2
k 2
q
E
2gh
), is a parabola (see Fig. 3.2.).
By adding the values of these two curves, at all the points, we get the specific-energy curve
as shown in Fig. 3.2.
3.2.2. Critical depth and critical velocity
We can see in the specific-energy diagram Fig. 3.2 that the specific energy is
minimum at point C. The depth of water in a channel, corresponding to the minimum
specific energy (as at C in this case) is known as critical depth. This depth can be found by
differentiating the specific-energy head equation and equating the result to zero. Or,

or, substituting

This is the equation for the critical depth, when the discharge per unit width through the
channel is given. Thus, the critical velocity corresponding to the depth of the channel is:

3.2.3. Types of flows
Depending on the critical depth as well as the real, occurring depth of water in a
channel, three types of flow can be distinguished:
Tranquil flow
If the depth of water, in the channel is greater than the critical depth, the flow is called
tranquil or subcritical.
Critical flow
If the depth of water in the channel is critical, the flow is called critical.
.
Rapid flow
If the depth of water in the channel is smaller than the critical depth, the flow is called
supercritical.

3.3. DEPTH OF HYDRAULIC JUMP
3.3.1. Concept
We can see in the specific-energy diagram (Fig. 3.2) that for a given specific
energy E, there are two possible depths h1 and h2. The depth h1 is smaller than the critical
depth, and h2 is greater than the critical depth.
We also know that, when the water depth is smaller than the critical depth, the flow is
called a tranquil or subcritical flow. But when the depth is greater than the critical depth,
the flow is called a rapid or supercritical flow. It has been experimentally found, that the
rapid flow is an unstable type of flow, and does not continue on the downstream side. The
transformation from “rapid” flow into “tranquil” flow occurs by means of a so-called
“hydraulic jump”. A counterclockwise roller “rides” continously up the surface of the
jump, entraining air and contributing to the general complexity of the internal flow
patterns, as illustrated in Fig. 3.3. Turbulence is produced at the boundary between the
incoming jet and the roller. The kinetic energy of the turbulence is rapidly dissipated along
with the mean flow energy in the downstream direction, so that the turbulence kinetic
energy is small at the end of the jump. This complex flow situation is ideal for the
application of the momentum equation, because precise mathematical description of the
internal flow pattern is not possible.
3.3.2. Water rise in hydraulic jump
Consider two sections, on the upstream and downstream side of a jump, as shown in Fig.
3.3.
Fig. 3.3. Hydraulic jump
Let 1 - 1 = section on the upstream side of the hydraulic jump,
2 - 2 = section on the downstream side of the hydraulic jump,
h1 = depth of flow at section 1 - 1,
V1 = flow velocity at section 1 - 1,
h2, V2 = corresponding values at section 2 - 2, and

Example 3.3: A discharge of 1000 l/s flows along a rectangular channel, 1.5 m wide. What
would be the critical depth in the channel? If a standing wave is to be formed at a point,
where the upstream depth is 180 mm, what would be the rise in the water level?

3.3.4. Hydraulic jump features
The following features are associated with the transition from supercritical to subcritical
flow:
Highly turbulent flow with significantly dynamic velocity and pressure
components;
Pulsations of both pressure and velocity, and wave development downstream of the
jump;
Two-phase flow due to air entrainment;
Erosive pattern due to increased macro-scale vortex development;
Sound generation and energy dissipation as a result of turbulence production.
A hydraulic jump thus includes several features by which excess mechanical energy may
be dissipated into heat. The action of energy dissipation may even be amplified by
applying energy dissipators. These problems will be discussed in Chapter 6.

3.4. TYPES OF HYDRAULIC JUMP
3.4.1. Criterion for a critical state-of-flow
The effect of gravity upon the state of flow is represented by a ratio of inertial
forces to gravity forces. This ratio is given by the Froude number, defined as:
gL
V
Fr (3-17)
where V is the mean velocity of flow in m/s, g is the acceleration of gravity in m/s2
, and L
is a characteristic length in m.
The critical state-of-flow has been defined in Section (3.2.2.) as the condition for which the
Froude number is equal to unity, i.e. Fr = 1, with L = h, or:
V gh (3-18)
A more common definition is, that it is the state of flow at which the specific energy is a
minimum for a given discharge. When the depth of flow is greater than the critical depth,
the flow velocity is smaller than the critical velocity for the given discharge, and at this
case, the Froude number is smaller than 1, hence, the flow is subcritical. When the depth
of flow is smaller than the critical depth, or the Froude number is larger than 1, the flow is
supercritical.
A theoretical criterion for critical flow may be developed from this definition as follows.
Since V = Q/A, the equation for the specific-energy head in a channel of small or zero
slope can be written as:
2

Fig. 3.4. Specific-energy head curve
The differential wet cross-sectional area dA near the free surface as indicated in Fig. 3.4. is
equal to W.dh, where W is the width of the cross-sectional area considered.
Now dA/dh = W. By definition, the so-called hydraulic depth, D, is D = A/W, i.e. the ratio
of the channel flow area A and its top width W; so the above equation becomes:
2 2
dE V W V

At the critical state-of-flow the (specific) energy is a minimum, or dE/dh = 0. The above
equation, then gives:

This is the criterion for critical flow, which states that at the critical state-of-flow, the
velocity head is equal to half the hydraulic depth. The above equation may also be written
as:

V
(3-23)
which means Fr = 1; this is the definition of critical flow given previously. If the above

It should be noted that the coefficient of a channel section actually varies with depth. In
the above derivation, however, the coefficient is assumed to be constant; therefore, the
resulting equation is not absolutely exact.

3.4.2. Types of hydraulic jump
Hydraulic jumps on a horizontal bottom can occur in several distinct forms. Based
on the Froude number of the supercritical flow directly upstream of the hydraulic jump,
several types can be distinguished (see Table 3.1).
It should be noted that the ranges of the Froude number given in Table 3.1 for the various
types of jump are not clear-cut but overlap to a certain extent depending on local
conditions.
Given the simplicity of channel geometry and the significance in the design of stilling
basins, the classical hydraulic jump received considerable attention during the last sixty
years. Of particular interest were:
The ratio of sequent depths, that is the flow depths upstream and downstream of
the jump, and
The length of jump, measured from the toe to some tailwater zone.

Table 3.1: Froude number and types of jump (Ven Te Chow, 1973)
Froude Jump type Illustration Description
1 – 3 undular The water surface shows undulations
3 – 6 weak A series of small rollers develop on the
surface of the jump, but the downstream
water surface remains smooth. The
velocity throughout is fairly uniform, and
the energy loss is low
6 - 20 oscillating There is an oscillating jet entering the
jump from bottom to surface and back
again with no periodicity. Each
oscillation produces a large wave of
irregular period which, very commonly in
canals, can travel for meters doing
unlimited damage to earthen banks and
rip-raps
20 – 80 steady The downstream extremity of the surface
roller and the point at which the high-
velocity jet tends to leave the flow occur
at practically the same vertical section.
The action and position of this jump are
least sensitive to variation in tailwater
depth. The jump is well-balanced and the
performance is at its best. The energy
dissipation ranges from 45 to 70%.
> 80 strong The high-velocity jet grabs intermittent
slugs of water rolling down the front face
of the jump, generating waves
downstream, and a rough surface can
prevail. The jump action is rough but
effective since the energy dissipation may
reach 85%.
A hydraulic jump may occur in four different distinct forms, if the undular jump as
previously discussed is excluded. The classification of classical jumps may be given only
in terms of the approaching Froude number, if jumps with inflow depths smaller than h1 =
1 to 2 cm are excluded. According to Bradley and Peterka (1957), classical hydraulic
jumps may occur as presented in Fig. 3.5.

Chapter 3: HYDRAULIC JUMP 60
Fig. 3.5. “Classical” forms of hydraulic jump
Pre-jump: (Fig. 3.5.a) if 1.7 < Fr < 2.5. A series of small rollers develop on the
surface at Fr = 1.7, which is slightly intensified for increasing Fr-number. A pre-jump
presents no particular problems for a stilling basin as the water surface is quite
smooth, and the velocity distribution in the tailwater is fairly uniform. However, the
efficiency of the jump is low from an energetic point of view.
Transition jump: (Fig. 3.5.b) if 2.5 < Fr < 4.5. This type of jump has a pulsating
action. The entering jet oscillates heavily from the bottom to the surface without
regular period. Each oscillation produces a large wave of irregular period, which may
cause very undesirable bank erosion. Transition jumps occur often in low head
structures.
Stabilised jump: (Fig. 3.5.c) if 4.5 < Fr < 9. These jumps have the best performance
since they have a limited tailwater wave action, relatively high energy dissipation, and
a compact and stable appearance. The point where the high velocity current leaves the
bottom coincides nearly with the roller end section. Efficiencies between 45% and
70% may be obtained.
Choppy jump: (Fig. 3.5.d) if Fr > 9. At such high Fr-number, the high velocity jet is
no more able to remain on the bottom. Slugs of water rolling down the front face of
the jump intermittently fall into the high velocity jet, and generate additional tailwater
waves. The surface of the jump is usually very rough, and contains a considerable
amount of spray.

Chapter 3: HYDRAULIC JUMP 62
3.5.2. Direct hydraulic jump
When the rapid change in the depth of flow is from a low stage to a high stage, the
result is usually an abrupt rise of the water surface (see Fig. 3.7, in which the vertical scale
is exaggerated). This local phenomenon is known as the hydraulic jump. It frequently
occurs in a canal downstream of a regulating sluice, at the foot of a spillway, or at the place
where a steep channel slope suddenly turns flat.
Fig.3.7. Hydraulic jump interpreted by specific-energy head
and momentum-transfer curves
If the jump is low, that is, if the change in depth is small, the water will not rise obviously
and abruptly, but will pass from the low to the high stage through a series of undulations,
gradually diminishing in size. Such a low jump is called an undular jump.
If the jump is high, that is, when the change in depth is great, the jump is called a direct
jump. The direct jump involves a relatively large amount of energy loss through dissipation
in the turbulent body of water in the jump. Consequently, the energy content in the flow
after the jump is appreciably less than before the jump.
3.5.3. The initial depth and the sequent depth
It may be noted that the depth before the jump is always less than the depth after
the jump. The depth before the jump is called the initial depth h1 and that after the jump is
called the sequent depth h2. The initial and sequent depths h1 and h2 are shown on the
specific-energy head curve (Fig. 3.7). They should be distinguished from the alternative
depths h1 and h2’, which are the two possible depths for the same specific energy. The
initial and sequent depths are the actual depths before and after a jump. The specific-
energy head E1 at the initial depth h1 is greater than the specific-energy head E2 at the
sequent depth h2 by an amount equal to the energy loss E. If there were no energy losses,
the initial and sequent depths would become identical with the alternative depths (in a
prismatic channel).
We can determine a relationship between the initial depth and the sequent depth of a
hydraulic jump on a horizontal floor in a rectangular channel.
The external forces of friction and the weight effect of the water in a hydraulic jump on a
horizontal floor are negligible, because the jump takes place along a relatively short

is used from equation (3-35).
It should be understood that, with applying Eq. (3.35), the momentum principle is used in
this solution, because the hydraulic jump involves a high amount of internal energy losses
which cannot be evaluated in the energy equation.
This joint use of the specific-energy head curve and the momentum-transfer curve helps to
determine graphically the energy loss involved in the hydraulic jump for a given
approaching flow. For the given approaching depth h1, points P1 and P1’ are located on the
momentum-transfer curve and the specific energy curve, respectively (Fig. 3.7.). The point
P1’ gives the initial energy content E1. Draw the vertical line, passing through the point P1
and intercepting the upper limb of the momentum-transfer curve at point P2, which gives
the sequent depth h2. Then, draw a horizontal line passing through the point P2 and
intercepting the specific-energy head curve at point P2”, which gives the “energy content”
E2 after the jump. The energy-head loss in the jump is then equal to E1 – E2, represented by
EL. After some elaboration it can be derived:

We also may apply some experimental formulas by Russian hydraulicians:
Pavolovski’s formula (1940), for a rectangular channel, if Fr1> 10:
Lj = 2.5 (1.9h2 – h1) (3-42)
Picalov’s formula (1954) for a rectangular channel, if Fr1> 10:

where B and b are the free water-surface widths of the wetted cross-sections before and

3.6. SUBMERGED HYDRAULIC JUMP
3.6.1. Definition
A submerged hydraulic jump, or shortly called submerged jump, is defined as the
jump where the toe is covered by water and the atmosphere has no direct access to the
body of the jump. As a result, a submerged jump entrains much less air than the non-
submerged jump. A submerged jump may typically develop behind gates as sketched in
Fig. 3.8.
Fig. 3.8. Gate flow with non-submerged jump (a) and submerged jump (b)
For low tailwater, a free-surface flow is generated behind the gate lip and the approaching
flow to the jump is supercritical. However, when increasing the tailwater level, the toe of
the jump moves towards the gate lip and attaches to it at transitional flow. Further increase
of the tailwater level makes the jump extremely rough. The jump entrains air over limited
periods of time only, and the body of the jump moves against the gate to separate after a
short while. The transition from non-submerged to submerged gate flow is highly dynamic
and pulsating, and should be avoided in view of the development of large dynamic
pressures.
If the tailwater is raised further, the jump changes gradually to a submerged jet. This is
characterised by low-noise development, low-pulsating flow and continuous flow

appearance. The energy dissipation reduces with the degree of submergence; however, a
highly submerged jump may not be used as an efficient energy dissipator.
3.6.2. Flow in submerged jump
Consider the longitudinal section of flow shown in Fig. 3.9. It defines the average
flow field of a submerged hydraulic jump in a rectangular prismatic channel. The depth hII
is produced by the gate, and the depth hIII is produced by some downstream control. If hIII
is greater than the depth conjugated to hII –i.e. the depth needed to form a hydraulic jump
with hII-, then the gate outlet must become “submerged” as shown in the figure. The effect
is that the jet of water issuing from beneath the gate is overlaid by a mass of water which,
although strongly turbulent, has no net motion in any direction.
Fig. 3.9. Submerged jump from a sluice gate
An approximate analysis can therefore be made by treating the case as one of “divided
flow” in which part of the flow section is occupied by moving water, and part by stagnant
water. Through there will be some energy loss between section I and section II, a much
greater proportion of the loss will occur in the expanding flow between section II and
section III. We therefore assume, as an approximation, that all loss occurs between section
II and section III –i.e. that EI = EII:

Note that the piezometric head term at section II is equal to the total depth h, not to the jet
depth hII. Between section II and section III, we can use the momentum equation:

noting that at section II, the hydrostatic thrust term is based on h, not hII.
In the normal situation occurring in practice, hI, hII and hIII are known and it is required to
calculate q; the second unknown h will also emerge from the calculation. The solution is
elementary, for elimination of q2
/g leads to a quadratic equation in h. However, Eq. (3-35)
can also be used for this case as can be seen in the example below.

Example 3.7: Go back to example 3.6. with the same initial condition and use the
calculated results. If the downstream depth is increased to 3.0 m, let us analyse the flow
conditions at the gate.
Solution:
See example 3.6.
sequent depth: hIII = 3.0 m
Flow condition ?
With a sequent depth of 3.0 m,
the initial depth required to sustain a jump is derived as follows.

So, the jump will be submerged as sketched in the figure, since the depth at the vena
contracta is 0.4 m. Apply the momentum equation to section II and section III, neglecting
friction and gravity forces.
