The theoretical value of the velocity at the invert of stilling basin or at the start of
hydraulic jump can be calculated by the following relation:
√ ( ),
Where
: Theoretical velocity
Example:
For a spillway shown below, total head in the reservoir (H) = 100 m, head over the crest
of the spillway ( ) = 5 m, evaluate the actual velocity and initial depth of flow at the
invert level of the basin, if the discharge passed over the spillway = 500 m3/s and width
of the basin = 25 m.
