TUTORIAL 4A

Q1. State 3 functions of hydraulic jump in civil engineering field.

Q2. Explain with an aid of sketch, formation of hydraulic jump in a channel.

Q3. A stationary hydraulic jump is occurs in a rectangular channel with the

initial and sequent depths being equal to 0.2 m and 1.2 m, respectively.
Estimate;
(i) The discharge per unit width
(ii) Energy loss.
(q = 1.284m3/s/m, EL = 1.042m)

Q4. At the toe of a hydraulic jump, the Froude number and depth of flow are
10.0 and 0.4 m, respectively. Estimate the specific energy head at the heel
of the jump.
(E2 = 5.57m)

Q5. Hydraulic jump in rectangular channel produce velocity and depth of after
jump as 0.8 m/s and 1.75 m, respectively. Calculate the initial depth, energy
loss and power dissipated per meter width.
(y = 0.122 m, EL = 5.054 m and P=69.27 kW/m)
