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-
thancritical 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.
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 :

va da vb
H = d a + 2g - ¿ + 2g )
Where ΔH is the total head loss across jump (energy dissipated) (m). v a is the mean
velocity before jump (m/s), d a is the depth of flow before hydraulic jump (m). vb is the
mean velocity after hydraulic jump (m) and d b is the depth of flow after hhydraulic jump
(m). Because the working section is short, d a ≈ db and db ≈ d3. Therefore, simplifying the
above equation,
H ( d a - d 1 )^3 / 4 d 1 d 3 .

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 ΔH / dc.
Fbefore = Fafter
E = do + V2/ 2g
Where do 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 d0 and d3 has are force from
adverse. Same like the equation,
Fbefore = Fafter.
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 v1 and curve line from
graph Δ H/d1 against d3/d1. Both graphs are sloping downward. Final result we can get the
value of dc between d1 and d3. 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.

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.
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.

Fg = pg d 1 ^2 ( d 0 ^2 / d 1 ^2-1 ) – pg / b d 1 (1-

The gate thrust for hydrostatic pressure distribution is given by the equation :
FH = ½ pg ( d 0 - d g )^2
where Fg is the resultant gate thrust (N), FH is the resultant hydrostatic thrust (N), q is
volume flowrate (m/s), ρ is density of fluid (kg/m3), g is the gravitational constant
(9.81m/s2), b is breadth of gate (m), dg is height of upstream opening (m), d0 is upstream
depth of flow (m) and d1 is downstream depth of flow (m).

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.
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.
