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.

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.

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.

The study of the hydraulic jump developed in stilling basins is complex to a high degree due to the intense velocity and pressure fluctuations and the significant air entrainment. It is this complexity, bound to the practical interest in stilling basins for energy dissipation purposes, which brings the importance of physical modeling into the spotlight. However, despite the importance of stilling basins in engineering, bibliographic studies have traditionally focused on the classical hydraulic jump. Therefore, the objective of this research was to study the characteristics of the hydraulic jump in a typified USBR II stilling basin, through a physical model. The free surface profile and the velocity distribution of the hydraulic jump developed within this structure were analyzed in the model. To this end, an experimental campaign was carried out, assessing the performance of both, innovative techniques such as the time-of-flight camera and traditional instrumentation like the Pitot tube. The results showed a satisfactory representation of the free surface profile and the velocity distribution, despite some discussed limitations. Furthermore, the instrumentation employed revealed the important influence of the energy dissipation devices on the flow properties. In particular, relevant differences were found for the hydraulic jump shape and the maximum velocity positions within the measured vertical profiles, when compared to classical hydraulic jumps.

Steady free-surface flows can produce sudden changes in height and velocity, namely standing jumps, which demarcate supercritical from subcritical flows. Standing jumps have traditionally been observed and studied experimentally with water in order to mimic various hydraulic configurations, for instance in the vicinity of energy dissipators. More recently, some studies have emerged that investigate standing jumps formed in flows of dry granular materials, which are relevant to the design of protection dams against avalanches. In the present paper, we present a new explicit relation for the prediction of the height of standing jumps. We demonstrate the robustness of the new relation proposed by revisiting and cross-comparing a great number of data sets on standing jumps formed in water flows on horizontal and inclined smooth beds, in water flows on horizontal rough beds, and in flows of dry granular materials down smooth inclines. Our study reveals the limits of the traditional one-to-one relation between the sequent depth ratio of the jump and the Froude number of the incoming supercritical flow, namely the Bélanger equation. The latter is a Rankine–Hugoniot relation which does not take into account the gravitational and frictional forces acting within the jump volume, over the jump length, as well as the possible density change across the jump when the incoming fluid is compressible. The newly proposed relation, which is exact for grains and a reasonable approximation for water, can solve all of these issues. However, this relation can predict the height of the standing jump only if another length scale, namely the length of the jump, is known. We conclude our study by discussing empirical but simple closure relations to get a reasonable estimate of the jump length for water flows and dry granular flows. These closure relations can be used to feed the general jump relation and then predict with accuracy the heights of the jumps in a number of situations, provided that well-calibrated friction laws – described in the present study – are considered.

A total of 120 tests of forced radial flow hydraulic jumps have been analyzed in order to develop curves and equations for the design of radial stilling basins. The jump depth, the water surface profile, wave amplitudes, the allowable flare angle, and the jump length are defined in terms of entrance conditions, the baffle position, and the baffle height. An example design is given and compared with a USBR (U.S. Bureau of Reclamation) Type III stilling basin. Key words: forced hydraulic jump, radial flow, design, stilling basins, baffles, radial hydraulic jump, circular hydraulic jump.

Abstract Hydraulic jump is a highly important phenomenon for dissipation of energy. This event, which involves flow regime change, can occur in many different types of stilling basins. In this study, hydraulic jump characteristics such as relative jump length and sequent depth ratio occurring in a suddenly expanding stilling basin were estimated using hybrid Extreme Learning Machine (ELM). To hybridize ELM, Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA), Firefly Algorithm (FA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) metaheuristic algorithms were implemented. In addition, six different models were established to determine effective dimensionless (relative) input variables. A new dataset was constructed by adding the data obtained from the experimental study in the present research to the data obtained from the literature. The performance of each model was evaluated using k-fold cross validation. Results showed that ICA hybridization slightly outperformed FA and PSO methods. Considering relative input parameters, Froude number (Fr), expansion ratio (B) and relative sill height (S), and effective input combinations were Fr – B– S and Fr – B for the prediction of the sequent depth ratio (Y) and relative hydraulic jump length (Lj/h1), respectively.

Abstract The hydraulic jump phenomenon is a beneficial tool in open channels for dissipating the extra energy of the flow. The sequent depth ratio and hydraulic jump length critically contribute to designing hydraulic structures. In this research, the capability of Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) as kernel-based approaches was evaluated to estimate the features of submerged and free hydraulic jumps in channels with rough elements and various shapes, followed by comparing the findings of GPR and SVM models and the semi-empirical equations. The results represented the effect of the geometry (i.e., steps and roughness elements) of the applied appurtenances on hydraulic jump features in channels with appurtenances. Moreover, the findings confirmed the significance of the upstream Froude number in the sequent depth ratio estimating in submerged and free hydraulic jumps. In addition, the immersion was the highest contributing variable regarding the submerged jump length on sloped smooth bed and horizontal channels. Based on the comparisons among kernel-based approaches and the semi-empirical equations, kernel-based models showed better performance than these equations. Finally, an uncertainty analysis was conducted to assess the dependability of the best applied model. The results revealed that the GRP model possesses an acceptable level of uncertainty in the modeling process.

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.

Most of the research work on hydraulic jumps has dealt with their macroscopic behaviour. The important parameters in these studies were the sequent depth ratio and the jump length required for stilling basin design. Unfortunately, the internal flow in submerged radial hydraulic jumps has received very little attention. A complete mathematical model of the internal flow would permit the modeller to assess the possible scale effects in a physical model and to better estimate the cavitation potential.This study treats the internal flow characteristics of the submerged radial hydraulic jumps under different submergence and operating conditions. A numerical model based on the strip integral method is used to solve the governing momentum and continuity equations. The numerical technique uses velocity shape functions to permit the partial integration of the equations of motion. A Gaussian velocity distribution is used in the mixing zone and the power law is used in the inner layer. The model predicts the velocity distribution, water surface profile, decay of the maximum velocity, variation of the surface velocity, sequent depth ratio, jump length, and energy loss.A comprehensive experimental program was conducted in an expanding Plexiglas flume with a total angle of divergence of 13.5°. The results were used to calibrate and validate the model. The model predictions also compared well with the results of other studies.

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%.
