Abstract This study aims at investigating the characteristics of the submerged and free hydraulic jumps in abrupt expansions. In app 1ied the theoretical study, dimensional analysis is to relate the different factors affecting the hydraulic phenomena. Moreover, the momentum principle as well as the continuity equation are used to get some expressions defining the relations between the main characteristics of the flow and the hydraulic jump. Experiments are conducted .in a smooth rectangular channel. Models with different expansion ratios are tested using variable flow parameters, i.e. discharge, and tailwater depth. Using the experimental data, verification is made for the theoretical expressions. For analysing the experimental data statistical methods are used to deduce empirical formulae for some characteristics of flow. Relations are discussed using the different hydraulic principles. Finally, practical applications are introduced to connect the laboratory experiments with field work. |
