PART A: THE HYDRAULIC JUMPS

1.0 INTRODUCTION
. A hydraulic jump is a fluid shockwave created at the transition between laminar and turbulent
flow. One common example of a hydraulic jump can be seen in the water radiating outward
when the stream of tap water strikes the horizontal surface of a sink. The water initially flows in
a smooth sheet with consistent current patterns. In this region, the speed of the water exceeds the
local wave speed. Friction against the sink surface slows the flow until an abrupt change occurs.
At this point, the depth increases as water piles up in the transition region and flow becomes
turbulent. The motion of individual water molecules becomes erratic and unpredictable. The
interruption of flow patterns also reduces the kinetic energy of the water. In addition to the
kitchen sink example, hydraulic jumps are also typical features of river rapids where the water
swirls and foams around rocks and logs.
Some practical applications of hydraulic jump are:
1. To dissipate energy in water flowing over dams, weirs, and other hydraulic structures and thus
prevent scouring downstream from the structures;
2. To recover head or raise the water level on the downstream side of a measuring flume and
thus maintain high water level in the channel for irrigation or other water-distribution purposes;
3. To increase the discharge of a sluice by holding back tailwater, since the effective head will
be reduced if the tailwater is allowed to drown the jump;
4. To remove air pockets from water supply lines, thus prevent air locking.
2.0 OBJECTIVE
- To investigate the characteristic a standing wave (the hydraulic jump) produced when waters
beneath an undershot weir and to observe the flow patterns obtained.
- Find out the characteristic of standing wave produce when waters beneath an undershot weir
thus observe the patterns flow.

3.0 THEORY






Figure 2.1: Hydraulic Jump
When water flow rapidly changes to slower tranquil flow a hydraulic jump or standing
wave is produced. This phenomenon can be seen where water shooting under a sluice gate mixes
with deeper water downstream. It occurs when a depth less than critical changes to a depth
which is greater than critical and must be accompanied by loss of energy. An undular jump
occurs when the change in depth is small. The surface of the water undulates in a series of
oscillations, which gradually decay to region of smooth tranquil flow. A direct jump occurs
when the change in depth is great. The large amount of energy loss produces a zone of
extremely turbulent water before it settles to smooth tranquil flow.
By considering the forces acting within the fluid on either side of a hydraulic jump of unit width
it can be shown that (eq. 1):

Figure 2.2: Relationships between Hydraulic Jump with y/y
c

Hydraulic jump is analogous to a shock wave in aerodynamics. It is a turbulent, non-
energy-conserving process that passes from rapid flow to tranquil flow. Since energy is not
conserved, the before and after states do not correspond to the intersection of a line E = const.
with the specific energy curve. However, momentum is conserved, and this permits us to find
the final state if we know the initial state. We will assume the channel is horizontal, since the
hydraulic jump takes place in a limited length of channel, and gravitational energies will not be
important. Let the water enter the jump with velocity V
1
and height y
1
, and leave with velocity
V
2
and height y
2
. In one second, the momentum lost by the fluid in passing through the jump is
Q (V
2
- V
1
), and this must be equal to the difference in pressure forces on the two cross
sections. This difference is gh
1
A
1
- gh
2
A
2
, where h is the distance from the surface to the
centroid of area A. This is one place where the pressure plays an explicit role. Equating the rate
of momentum change with the net force acting, we find that the combination hA + QV/g is
conserved. For a rectangular channel, A = by and h = y/2m so a conserved quantity is f = q
2
/yg +
y
2
/2.
We can write this in dimensionless form by setting x = y/y
c
, as we did for the specific
energy above. Then, f/y
c
= 1/x + x
2
/2. We shall call a plot of f/y
c
vs y/y
c
the hydraulic jump
curve. Curiously, it is just the specific energy curve with 1/x in place of x. The hydraulic jump
curve for a wide rectangular channel is shown at the right.
When the slope changes from steep to mild, a hydraulic jump occurs at a point such that
y
2
is the normal depth on the downstream end. Depending on the corresponding value of y
1
, the
jump may occur either after or before the break in slope, wherever the required value of y
1
can
be found. If y
1
is greater than the depth on the steep slope, then the jump will occur on the mild
slope when the height of the rapid flow reaches y
1
. If it is not, then the jump will occur on the
steep slope to a depth that becomes the normal depth on the mild slope.






Figure 2.3 The hydraulic Jump
This may be illustrated by the jump shown in the figure at the left. The water comes
through a gate with high velocity and a depth less than the critical depth, so the flow is rapid.
The depth conjugate to y
1
' is y
2
'. Since this is greater than the normal depth on the mild slope,
the jump will not occur immediately, because there is insufficient energy. The rapid flow
decelerates on the mild slope and the water depth increases, bringing down the conjugate depth.
Both the energy line and the water surface are slightly concave upwards in this region, though
drawn as straight. When the depth reaches y
1
conjugate to the normal depth on the mild slope,
the jump begins, at the first point where it is possible. It does not occur at a single section, but
extends for the length of the turbulent jump (foreshortened in the diagram). It is easy to see that
the momentum on the left is balanced by the pressure force on the right. The energy line falls
rapidly through the region of the jump, then resumes with the mild slope, S' = S. There is also a
small energy loss at the gate, from the level of the slack water upstream. There are other cases,
but this is the most common one. A good place to see a jump is at the overflow spillway of a
dam, with a rapid flow down the inclined face of the spillway, and a jump on the apron beyond
in the tail water.

5.0 PROCEDURE
1. The machine was turned on and the water was pumped into the maximum water level fixed
until the water about 80% of the channel. Thus, the water pressure of the flow rate should be
not more than 0.018 m.
2. Flume is levelled with the downstream tilting overshot weir at the bottom and actual breadth
(m) of the undershot weir. Undershot weir is installed towards inlet end and securely
clamped in position with plastacine provided.
3. Undershoot weir have been adjusted to position the sharp edge of the weir 20 mm above the
bed of channel. The height of the tilting overshot weir was increased until the downstream
level just start to rise.
4. The flow control valve gradually opens and the flow was adjusted until an undular jump was
created with small ripple decaying towards the discharge end of the working section.
5. The height of the upstream of the undershot weir was increased by increasing the height of
the tilting overshot weir to create and hydraulic jump.

Difference of the theoretical and experimental H values may due to:
a) Parallax error: During recording the data, the observer observed the wrong value.
b) Defect of the experimental equipment: The plasticine is not strong enough to block the
water from enter the free space of weir.

2. The most important engineering applications of the hydraulic jump is to dissipate energy in
canals, dam spillways, and similar structures so that the excess kinetic energy does not
damage these structures. The energy dissipation or head loss across a hydraulic jump is a
function of the magnitude of the jump. The larger the jump as expressed in the fraction of
final height to initial height, the greater the head loss.

Two methods of designing an induced jump are common:
i. If the downstream flow is restricted by the down-stream channel such that water backs
up onto the foot of the spillway, that downstream water level can be used to identify the
location of the jump.
ii. If the spillway continues to drop for some distance, but the slope changes such that it
will no longer support supercritical flow, the depth on the lower subcritical flow region
is sufficient to determine the location of the jump.
In both cases, the final depth of the water is determined by the downstream characteristics. The
jump will occur if and only if the level of inflowing (supercritical) water level (h
0
) satisfies the
condition:

F
r
= Upstream Froude Number
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s
2
)
h = height of the fluid from the bed of stream (h
0
= initial height; h
1
= final downstream height)
Dissipation of energy results in decreases of velocity and increases of flow depth.



9.0 CONCLUSION
As a conclusion, based on the investigation and analytical of result data, it shown that the
degree of hydraulic jump are affected by the change of height of opening gate d
g
, level before
jump d
1
, the velocity before jumps v
1
and level of upstream d
o
. This function of this agent can be
determined by manipulated those variable and result with the observed transformation of flow
hydraulic jump pattern. The rapidly varied hydraulic jump if the depth change abruptly over a
comparatively short distance is classified as rapidly varies flow (RVP). In term of engineering,
the objective of hydraulic jump is to perform an energy-dissipating device to reduce the excess
energy of water flows.
The relationship between the graphs of H/d1 against d3/d1 is linearly proportional.
When d3/d1 increases, value of H/d1 increases. On the other hand, the graph of dg against v,
when the value of weir opening, dg increases, the value of velocity of water decreases. When the
gate is opened, the value of stream flow depth decreases and the downstream flow depth
increases.
Hydraulic jumps can be classified according to the Froude Number and ratio of d3/d1.










PART B: THE FORCE ON A SLUICE GATE

1.0 OBJECTIVE
i. To determine the relationship between upstream head and thrust on a sluice gate
(undershot weir) for water flowing under the sluice gate.
ii. To figure out the upstream and downstream of the sluice gate to calculate the hydrostatic
pressure force.
iii. To determine the relationship between the specific energy and flow depth in which can
cause by water flowing under a sluice gate.

In its simplest form, a control structure is designed to change the water depth to (or through) the
critical depth (d
c
), so that the discharge is fixed relative to the depth. In practice, most control
structures accelerate a subcritical flow, through the critical regime, to produce a shallow fast
supercritical flow.



Open channel control structures.
To include more than one effective control within an open channel, the supercritical flow
produced by an upstream control must be reconverted to a subcritical flow. This is usually
achieved by a hydraulic jump (or stationary bore) in which the characteristics of the subcritical
flow are determined by a second downstream control. These events are associated with large
energy losses, and are often used as an effective means of dissipating unwanted kinetic energy
downstream of an overflow (spillway) or underflow (sluice gate) structure. The hydraulic jump
is in many respects analogous to a shock wave arising within a compressible flow. For example,
whereas the hydraulic jump provides a transition from supercritical to subcritical flow, the shock
wave involves a transition from supersonic to subsonic flow. In both cases there is a critical
velocity below which these transitions cannot occur, and both processes involve an increase in
entropy. Indeed, in the case of a hydraulic jump the increase in entropy per unit mass is
proportional to the cube of the depth change; whereas in a shock wave this increase is
proportional to the cube of the pressure difference (provided this is small).

8.0 DISCUSSION
1. Plot a graph of the ratio Fg/FH against the ratio dg/do .

2. Comment on the graph obtained.

The value of the ratio Fg/FH is increase when the value of the ratio dg/do is decrease

3. Compare your calculated values for Fg and FH and comment on any differences.

Value for the gravity force, Fg is negative (-) because the resultant force of the flow is opposite
of the direction of water flow on the gate. The value for the hydrostatic force, FH is positive (+)
because the resultant force is as the direction a flow of the water.

4. What is the effect of flow rate on the results obtained?

The effect of flow rate on the results obtained is the flow rate value will increase when weir
opening increase. This is because flow rate value is based on weir opening.

In this experiment, two sides of the weir have been leaking because the plasticine
which is used to block the water at both side of the weir is damaged. So, it will give impact to
the flow of rate water. Besides that, value of flow rate is not too accurate because we use manual
method to set the value of flow rate. The adjustable key of the equipment to set the value of flow
rate is locked. The results of this experiment are based on some elements such as the equipment
that have been used. In this experiment


1. Common errors and suggested precautions that are taken places during the experiment to
minimize the inaccuracy of result.

i. Water may leak at the sides of the weir that are not designed in the exact shape
according to the breadth of weir. Porcelain is introduced to stick of the sides of
the weir as well as the bolt and each of every small gap that may caused leakage.
ii. Parallax error occurs when the steel rule is placed inside the water channel to
measure the height of the opening weir. The refraction of water may cause a
slight different of reading. Therefore, we suggest that measurement must be read
while the readers eye is exact on the level of meniscus and have the best short
distance of reading to minimise the refraction due to the water.
iii. Random error happens when adjusting the opening weir takes a period of time
which may causes the depth of upstream flow decreased. The longer the time
taken to adjust the opening weir, the more water loss from upstream to
downstream since the water flow rate that we set constant earlier on is real small.
The lower the water level in the upstream will influence the pressure of water
flow through the opening weir. Therefore, we are advised to work in fast action
in adjusting the height of the opening weir.


9.0 CONCLUSION
The conclusion for this experiment A variety of gate-type structures is available for flow rate
control at the crest of an overflow spillway, or at the entrance of an irrigation canal or river from
a lake. The relationship between upstream head and thrust on a sluice gate (undershot weir) for
water flowing under the sluice gate can be determined by the experiment that has been done.
When upstream head is high, thrust on a sluice gate also high
For the sluice gate, when the weir opening increases, the force at the gate thrust will also
increases but the force for hydrostatic thrust decreases.
Hydraulic jumps application for real life are downstream of hydraulic structure such as
spillways, sluice gate, venturi flumes, downstream of bridge piers during flooding and many
more while sluice gate is used at the end of a pipe line or to cover an opening in a wall and is not
an in live valve.
A hydraulic jump is a sudden rise in water level due to decreasing velocity. In flowing
water, the water before the jump is moving much faster than the water after the jump. When the
velocity of the water decreases to critical flow speed a jump occurs.
