PART A : THE HYDRAULIC JUMPS

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The concept of the hydraulic jump when the hydraulic drop that occurs at a sudden
drop in the bottom of a channel, and the free surface flow around obstructions like bridge
piers. A hydraulic jump forms when a supercritical flow changes into a subcritical flow.
The change in the flow regime occurs with a sudden rise in water surface. Considerable
turbulence, energy loss and air entrainment are produced in the hydraulic jump. A
hydraulic is used for mixing chemicals in water supply systems, for dissipating energy
below artificial channel controls, and as an aeration device to increase the dissolved
oxygen in water.

In a hydraulic jump there occurs a sudden change in liquid depth from less-than-
critical to greater-than-critical depth. The velocity of the flow changes from supercritical
to subcritical as a result of the jump. This transition takes place over a relatively short
distance, usually less than 5 times the depth of flow after the jump, over which the height
of the liquid increase rapidly, incurring a considerable loss of energy. An example of a
hydraulic jump can be observed when a jet of water from a faucet strikes the horizontal
surface of the kitchen sink. The water flows rapidly outward and a circular jump occurs.

We shall restrict the derivation of the basic equation of the hydraulic jump to
rectangular horizontal channels. First, we shall determine the downstream depth of the
jump by using the momentum and continuity equations for one-dimensional flow. Then
the energy loss due to the jump will be evaluated, using the energy equation.

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.

3.0 LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of the course, students should be able to apply the knowledge and
skills they have learned to:
a) Understand the concept and characteristics of hydraulic jump.
b) Understand the factors which influence the hydraulic jump.

4.0 THEORY

When water flowing 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 a 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 with the fluid on either side of a hydraulic jump
of unit width it can be shown that :

6.0 PROCEDURES
1. Ensure the flume is level, with the downstream tilting overshot weir, E at the bottom
of its travel. Measure and record the actual breadth b (m) of the undershot weir. Install
the undershot weir towards the inlet end of the flume and ensure that it is securely
clamped in position.
2. Adjust the undershot weir to position the sharp edge of the weir 20mm above the bed
of the channel. Increase the height of the tilting overshot weir until the downstream
level just stars to rise.
3. Gradually open the flow control valve and adjust the flow until an undular jump is
created with small ripple decaying towards the discharge end of the working section.
Observe and sketch the flow pattern.
4. Increase the height of water upstream of the undershot weir by increasing the flow
rate and increase the height of the titling overshot weir to create a hydraulic jump in
the centre of the working section. Observe and sketch the flow pattern.
5. Measure and record the values of d

9.0 QUESTION

1. Verify the force of the stream on either side of the jump is the same and that the
specific energy curve predicts a loss equal to H / d
c.

F
before
= F
after

2. Suggest application where the loss of energy in hydraulic jump would be
desirable. How is the energy dissipated?
The hydraulic jump flow process can be illustrated by use of the specific energy
concept. Equation loss energy can be written in term of the specific energy:
E = d
o
+ V
2
/ 2g

Where d
o
and E are feet. Because of the head loss across the jump, the upstream
values of E are different. About the graph, (1) to state (2) the fluid does not
proceed along the specific energy curve and pass through the critical condition.
The energy dissipates when water flow at weir opening and the energy became 0
because d
0
and d
3
has are force from adverse. Same like the equation,
F
before
= F
after
.

10.0 DISCUSSION
Practical applications of hydraulic jump are:

1. To dissipate energy in water flowing over hydraulic structures as dams, weirs, and
others and prevent scouring downstream structures.
2. To raise water level on the downstream side for irrigation or other water distribution
purposes.
3. To increase weight on an apron and reduce uplift pressure under a structure by raising
the water depth on the apron.
4. To indicate special flow conditions such as the existence of supercritical flow or the
presence of a control section so that a gaging station maybe located.
5. To mix chemicals used for water purification.
6. To aerate water for city water supplies.
7. To remove air pockets from water supply lines and prevent air locking.
11.0 CONCLUSION
The conclusion from the experiment, we can investigate the characteristic a
standing wave (the hydraulic jump) produced when waters beneath an undershot weir and
to observe the flow patterns obtained. From the experiment, we can get the force at weir
opening, H. In the water channel, water flowing 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 are greater than critical and must be
accompanied by loss of energy.

From the result, we get the inverse line from graph g
d1
against v
1
and curve line
from graph H/d
1
against d
3
/d
1
. Both graphs are sloping downward. Final result we can
get the value of d
c
between d
1
and d
3
. So the objective achieved and the experiments are
success. Reason the experiment perform because almost drain are open channel. From the
experiment, we know about water flowing.

PART B: THE FORCE ON A SLUICE GATE

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Sluice gate is a device used to control the passage of water in an open
channel. When properly calibrated it may also serve as a means of flow measurement.
As the lower edge of the gate opening is flush with the floor of the channel, contraction
of the bottom surface of the issuing stream is entirely suppressed. Side contraction will
of course depend on the extent to which the opening spans the width of the channel.

A variety of gate-type structure 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.
Three typical types are vertical gate, radial gate and drum gate. The flow under a gate is
said to be free outflow when the fluid issues as a jet of supercritical flow with a free
surface open to the atmosphere.

In certain situation, the depth downstream of the gate is controlled by some
downstream obstacle and the jet of water issuing from under the gate is overlaid by a
mass of water that is quite turbulent.

Picture 1: Drowned outflow from a sluice gate.

2.0 OBJECTIVE
To determine the relationship between upstream head and trust on a sluice gate
(undershot weir) for water flowing under the sluice gate.

3.0 LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of the course, students should be able to apply the knowledge and skill
they have learned to:
a) Understand the basic terms and concept of a sluice gate.
b) Understand on the characteristics of the force on a sluice gate.
4.0 THEORY
It can be shown that the resultant force on the gate is given by the equation :

The gate thrust for hydrostatic pressure distribution is given by the equation :

where F
g
is the resultant gate thrust (N), F
H
is the resultant hydrostatic thrust (N), q is
volume flowrate (m/s), is density of fluid (kg/m
3
), g is the gravitational constant
(9.81m/s
2
), b is breadth of gate (m), d
g
is height of upstream opening (m), d
0
is upstream
depth of flow (m) and d
1
is downstream depth of flow (m).

with F
H
= g ( d

- d
g
)
2
, we get the value in positive
(+ve). F
g
is resultant gate thrust (N) and F
H
is resultant hydrostatic thrust (N). We can
conclude that before the water is flow to the sluice gate, the force are F
H
are in positive
(+ve) because is follow the direction of the water flow. The force are happened after
sluice gate are Fg in negative (-ve) because the resultant force of the flow is opposite the
direction.

4. What is the effect of flow rate on the result obtained?
From the result, the more flow rate will give the less thrust for both of the gate and the
hydrostatic. This is because of the decreasing pressure at both of them.

10.0 DISSCUSSION
Floodgates are adjustable gates used to control water flow in reservoir, river, stream, or
levee systems. They may be designed to set spillway crest heights in dams, to adjust flow rates in
sluices and canals, or they may be designed to stop water flow entirely as part of a levee or storm
surge system.

Since most of these devices operate by controlling the water surface elevation being
stored or routed, they are also known as crest gates. In the case of flood bypass systems,
floodgates sometimes are also used to lower the water levels in a main river or canal channels by
allowing more water to flow into a flood bypass or detention basin when the main river or canal
is approaching a flood stage. Picture below shown the floodgates.

Tokyo floodgates created to protect from typhoon surges

Another example of floodgate or sluice gate that we can explore is as shown below :

A sluice gate on the Harran canal

Tainter gate diagram Tainter gates and spillway

Drum gates are controlled with valves Drum gates on a diversion dam
.

11.0 CONCLUSION

The flow through a channel in which a gate partially obstructs the flow will be used for
this measurement of total force. This obstruction is called a sluice gate (see Figure 1). The flow is
from left to right and enters at a velocity Vo. The fluid in the upstream section builds up against
the gate to a level y0, and exits the upstream section under the gate of height b. The fluid attains a
higher velocity V1 as it passes under the gate and a shallower free surface height y1 downstream.

Three assumptions will be made in this derivation of the equation for horizontal force on
a sluice gate:
1) The viscous force at the bottom of the channel and the energy dissipation at the
gate are negligible.
2) The flow is steady and has a uniform velocity distribution at the inlet and outlet
sections.
3) Flow at upstream and downstream sections is uniform and the effect of the side-
walls is negligible.
