Abstract Channels with different shapes and bed conditions are used as useful appurtenances to dissipate the extra energy of a hydraulic jump. Accurate prediction of hydraulic jump energy dissipation is important in design of hydraulic structures. In the current study, hydraulic jump energy dissipation was assessed in channels with different shapes and bed conditions (i.e. smooth and rough beds) using the support vector machine (SVM) as an intelligence approach. Five series of experimental datasets were applied to develop the models. The results showed that the SVM model is successful in estimating the relative energy dissipation. For the smooth bed, it was observed that the sloping channel models with steps performed more successfully than rectangular and trapezoidal channels and the step height is an effective variable in the estimation process. For the rough bed, the trapezoidal channel models were more accurate than the rectangular channel. It was found that rough element geometry is effective in estimation of the energy dissipation. The result showed that the models of rough channels led to better predictions. The sensitivity analysis results revealed that Froude number had the more dominant role in the modeling. Comparison among SVM and two other intelligence approaches showed that SVM is more successful in the prediction process.

Hydraulic jump is an important phenomenon in open channel flows such as rivers and spillways. Hydraulic jump is mainly used for kinetic energy dissipation at the downstream side of a spillway with the assist of baffle blocks. It has been demonstrated that corrugated or rough beds show considerably more energy dissipation than smooth beds. The experimental research evaluating the effect of crushed stones on the hydraulic jump is presented in this paper. Five different-size sets of crushed stones were used. Results show that the effect of rough bed does not increase after a certain height of crushed stone is reached.

Abstract Rough bed channels are one of the appurtenances used to dissipate the extra energy of the flow through hydraulic jump. The aim of this paper is to assess the effects of channel geometry and rough boundary conditions (i.e., rectangular, trapezoidal, and expanding channels with different rough elements) in predicting the hydraulic jump energy dissipation using support vector machine (SVM) as a meta-model approach. Using different experimental data series, different models were developed with and without considering dimensional analysis. The results approved capability of the SVM model in predicting the relative energy dissipation. It was found that the developed models for expanding channel with central sill performed more successfully and, for this case, superior performance was obtained for the model with parameters Fr1 and h1/B. Considering the rectangular and trapezoidal channels, the model with parameters Fr1, (h2−h1)/h1, W/Z led to better predictions. It was observed that between two types of strip and staggered rough elements, strip type led to more accurate results. The obtained results showed that the developed models for the case of simulation based on dimensional analysis yielded better predictions. The sensitivity analysis results showed that Froude number had the most significant impact on the modeling.

For transition of a supercritical flow into a subcritical flow in an open channel, a hydraulic jump phenomenon is used. Different shaped channels are used as useful tools in the extra energy dissipation of the hydraulic jump. Accurate prediction of relative energy dissipation is important in designing hydraulic structures. The aim of this paper is to assess the capability of a Kernel extreme Learning Machine (KELM) meta-model approach in predicting the energy dissipation in different shaped channels (i.e., rectangular and trapezoidal channels). Different experimental data series were used to develop the models. The obtained results approved the capability of the KELM model in predicting the energy dissipation. Results showed that the rectangular channel led to better outcomes. Based on the results obtained for the rectangular and trapezoidal channels, the combination of Fr1, (y2-y1)/y1, and W/Z parameters performed more successfully. Also, comparison between KELM and the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) approach showed that KELM is more successful in the predicting process.

In this study, a series of laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the energy loss through the hybrid defense system (HDS) in the order of dike, moat, and emergent vegetation in steady subcritical flow conditions. The results of HDS were compared with a single defense system (SDS) comprising only vegetation (OV). The dimensions of dike were kept constant while two different shapes (trapezoidal and rectangular) of moat were considered. The impacts of vegetation of variable thickness and density were investigated. Two combinations of HDS were investigated including the combination of dike and vegetation (DV) and the combination of dike, moat, and vegetation (DMV). The effect of backwater rise due to the vegetation, hydraulic jump formation and the impact of the arrival time of floodwater on energy dissipation were investigated. It was observed that on the upstream side of obstructions, the backwater depth increased by increasing the Froude number in both the SDS and HDS. The hydraulic jump observed in HDS was classified and the energy dissipation due to it was calculated. Under various conditions investigated in this paper, the maximum average energy dissipation was 32% in SDS and 46% in HDS. The trapezoidal moat performed better than rectangular moat as energy dissipater. The delay time was also greater with trapezoidal moat as compared to that in rectangular one. The maximum delay time was 140 s in the case of HDS. Hence, the hybrid defense system offered maximum resistance to the flow of water, thus causing a significant energy loss. For each case of SDS and HDS, empirical equations were developed by regression analysis to estimate the energy dissipation amounts.

In this study, the hydraulic jumps over rough beds are numerically simulated. In order to calibrate the numerical model, the experimental data were used, which performed in a rectangular flume in various roughness arrangements and different Froude numbers. The effect of the distance (s) and the height (t) of the roughness on different characteristics of the hydraulic jump, including the sequent depth ratio, water surface profile, jump’s length, roller’s length, and velocity distribution were evaluated and compared. The results showed that the numerical model is fairly well able to simulate the hydraulic jump characteristics. The results also showed that the height and distance of roughness slightly reduced the sequent depth ratios for all Froude numbers. Also, the hydraulic jump length is reduced at the presence of the rough bed. Velocity profiles in different experiments were similar and there was a good agreement between simulated and measured results. Also, increasing the distance and the height of the roughness will slow down the velocity near the bed, increase the shear stress, and increase the gradient of the velocity distribution near the bed.

Abstract. In this study, the effect of sediment concentration on submerged hydraulic jump (SHJ) characteristics such as jump length, submerged depth on the gate and the energy dissipation is investigated. Experiments were carried out in a flume of 46 cm depth, 12 m length. The width of the flume changes from 10 cm (at the entrance) to 60 cm (at the exit). Sediment load and flow concentration have an influence on submerged hydraulic jump characteristics including submerged depth on the gate, jump length and relative energy dissipation. It is shown that at high Froude numbers increasing the suspended sediment concentration to 28.7 gr/l leads to a reduction in the submerged depth on the gate up to 6% and jump length up to 10%. Also, the energy dissipation of the submerged hydraulic jump increases by 4% and turbulence resulting from the jump leads to upright distribution of concentration at the end of the jump. Also in concentrations higher than 30 gr/l, flow is not able to carry the whole sediments and subsequently leads to their deposition in subcritical area and behind the sluice gate.

Sudden diverging channels are one of the energy dissipaters which can dissipate most of the kinetic energy of the flow through a hydraulic jump. An accurate prediction of hydraulic jump characteristics is an important step in designing hydraulic structures. This paper focuses on the capability of the support vector machine (SVM) as a meta-model approach for predicting hydraulic jump characteristics in different sudden diverging stilling basins (i.e. basins with and without appurtenances). In this regard, different models were developed and tested using 1,018 experimental data. The obtained results proved the capability of the SVM technique in predicting hydraulic jump characteristics and it was found that the developed models for a channel with a central block performed more successfully than models for channels without appurtenances or with a negative step. The superior performance for the length of hydraulic jump was obtained for the model with parameters F1 (Froude number) and (h2—h1)/h1 (h1 and h2 are sequent depth of upstream and downstream respectively). Concerning the relative energy dissipation and sequent depth ratio, the model with parameters F1 and h1/B (B is expansion ratio) led to the best results. According to the outcome of sensitivity analysis, Froude number had the most significant effect on the modeling. Also comparison between SVM and empirical equations indicated the great performance of the SVM.

Three groups of cubic roughness elements non-protruding to the flow were fixed with a specific configuration at the downstream of a stream lined lib sluice gate. The aim was to test the performance of the hydraulic jump under using such elements as appurtenances of stilling basin. The experimental works has been conducting to test; four different intensities, I=8%, 10%, 12% and 16%; three width to height ratios, We/he=0.75, 1.5 and 2; and three length to height ratios, Le/he=0.75, 2 and 4, of cubic elements made from waterproof stiff rubber. The test was performed under the incoming Froude number; F1 ranged between 2.7 to 9. After analysing the experimental data one from the second group configuration gives a higher reduction of sequent depth ratio, y2/y1 as compared with the depth ratio of the un-forced hydraulic jump which calculated by Belanger equation, this decreases arrived 20%. Also greater relative energy has been dissipated, and the gain in dissipation (%GED) ranged between 10.8-22.3%.

This study was conducted to investigate the velocity distribution and attenuation in free jumps on rough beds. Based on the length scale of jump length Lj, the velocity distribution of the free jump on a rough bed can be divided into four parts by three typical sections where are in the position of x=0.4Lj, x=0.8Lj, and x=1.2Lj. It seems that the velocity distribution near section x=0.4Lj is the most uneven. The velocity attenuation rate in the bottom half of the water is larger than that in the top half of the water. The attenuation of the maximum velocity um is mainly done from x=0 to x=0.8Lj. The results show the mixed triangular corrugated floor increases the resistance of hydraulic jump development and is very efficient in energy dissipation.
