Explanation:

Hydraulic jump:

  • A hydraulic jump occurs when the flow changes from a supercritical flow (unstable) to a sub-critical flow (stable).
  • There is a sudden rise in the water level at the point where the hydraulic jump occurs.
  • Rollers (eddies) of turbulent water form at this point.
  • These rollers cause the dissipation of energy.
  • Classification of jump according to the Froude numbers
Type of Jump Froude number
Undular jump  1 < Fr < 1.7

Weak jump

 1.7 <Fr < 2.5
Oscillating jump  2.5 <Fr < 4.5
Steady jump  4.5 <Fr< 9
Strong jump  Fr > 9
  • \(F_r ^2 = \frac{q^2}{gy^3}\)
  • Where Fr  = Froude's no. , q = Discharge per meter width , g = acceleration due to gravity , y= depth of flow
