“Hydraulic Jump”
…. Is occurrence of flow that changes abruptly from a
supercritical to a subcritical state.

• Hydraulic Jump was firstly experimentally studied by an Italian


engineer Bidone in 1818.

• A hydraulic jump primarily serves as an energy dissipator to


dissipate excess energy of flowing water downstream of
hydraulic structures such as spillways and sluice gates.

• Other uses of hydraulic jump :


▪ Mixing of chemicals
▪ To aid intense mixing and gas transfer in chemical
processes
▪ Aeration of polluted streams
• In transition from supercritical to subcritical flows where:
▪ Water surface rises abruptly
▪ Surface rollers are formed
▪ Intense mixing occurs
▪ Air is entrained
▪ Large amount of energy is dissipated

• A jump in a horizontal rectangular channel is referred to


as a “classical jump”

4.1.2 CLASSIFICATION OF JUMPS
▪ As a result of extensive studies of Bradley and Paterka (1957) the hydraulic
jumps in horizontal rectangular channel are classified into 5 categories based
on the Froude number (Fr1) of the incoming supercrtical flow.

Types of Jump Fr1


Undular 1.0 < Fr1 ≤ 1.7
Weak 1.7 < Fr1 ≤ 2.5
Oscillating 2.5 < Fr1 ≤ 4.5
Steady 4.5 < Fr1 ≤ 9.0
Strong Fr1 > 9.0

Definition :

y1 = flow depth before the jump (supercritical) conjugate/sequent depths


y2 = flow depth after the jump (subcritical)
v1 = flow velocity before the jump
v2 = flow velocity after the jump
hj = height of jump
hL = energy loss = EL = △E
Lj = length of jump
4.2 MOMENTUM EQUATION FOR THE JUMP

4.2.1 General Equation

Assumptions made are :


(a) The channel bed is horizontal
(b) The channel is prismatic (uniform cross-section)
(c) Uniform velocity exists at every cross-section in the channel
(d) Shear stress at the channel wall is neglected
(e) Effect of friction is negligible
(f) The jump occurs over a short distance

Based on the Newton’s Second Law and
changes of momentum between Sections 1
and 2 :

Ff = M 1 – M 2

where :
Ff = Summation of external forces acting
 = specific weight of water = g
M= specific momentum or specific force
= Q2 + Ax
gA
x = centroid of water area
For a short channel, Ff ≈ 0, therefore, M1 = M2

M1 = M 2

x1 = y1/2 x2 = y2/2

Q = Bq Q = Bq

Substituting the above terms in Eqn. (4.1) which is given by :

Q2 + A1x1 = Q2 + A2 x2 ………..(4.1)

will result in :

▪ Results from several experimental investigations (eg. Bakhmeteff and


Matzke, 1936; Bradley and Peterka, 1957; Peterka, 1963; Rajaratnam, 1965)
have yielded result which are to some degree contradictory)

▪ Results from study by Silvester (1964) :

(ii) Triangular channels :

Lj = 4.26 (Fr1 -1) 0.695

(Note : based on data from a channel with angle of 47.30)

(iii) Parabolic channels

20 m3/s water flows in a 5.0 m wide steep (So = 0.01, n = 0.013) rectangular
channel which changes to mild slope (So = 0.0005) where n = 0.011 at the
downstream end. A hydraulic jump occurs on the mild slope because of the bed
slope change in the channel. The flow depth after the jump reaches the normal
depth, yo. Sketch the problem and find the sequent depths, energy and power
losses due to the jump and classify the hydraulic jump.
