Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics

  1. A hydraulic jump takes place in a triangular channel of vertex angle 90°, as shown in figure. The discharge is 1m3 /s and the pre-jump depth is 0.5m. What will be the post-jump? (Take g = 9.81 m/s2)

    1. 0.57 m
    2. 0.91 m
    3. 1.02 m
    4. 1.57 m
Correct Option: C

Taking specific force at 2 sections:

z =
y

y1 = 0.5 m
⇒ 0.449 =
