Define a hydraulic jump.
Think about flow conditions and energy transitions.
What does a Froude number greater than one indicate?
Recall the definition and significance of the Froude number.
What occurs during a hydraulic jump?
Think about the flow types described.
True or False: The Froude number is used to distinguish between two types of fluid flow.
Recall the function of the Froude number.
A pipe discharges water into a rectangular channel with an upstream velocity of 15 m/s and a flow depth of 0.5 m. Calculate the downstream velocity and flow depth when a hydraulic jump occurs.
Use hydraulic jump equations to determine variables.
Design a spillway considering the energy loss during a hydraulic jump, specifying the dimensions and flow expected during peak rain events.
Consider specific energy relationships in designs.
