Solution :
Given :
Discharge, Q=7.5 m3/s
Wide, b=3 m
Velocity, V=5 m2/s
Discharge per unit width
q=Qb=7.53=2.5 m2/s
q=Qb=V×Ab=V×d1×bb
⟹d1=qV=2.55=0.5 m
Hydraulic jump will occur if the depth of flow on upstream side is less than the critical depth on upstream side.
Critical depth (hC)
hC=(q2g)13=(2.529.81)13=0.8605
Now depth on upstream side is 0.5 m. This depth less than the critical depth and hence hydraulic jump will occur.
Height of hydraulic jump (H)
d2=−d12+√d214+2q2gd1=−0.52+√0.524+2×2.529.81×0.5=1.3658 m
H=d2−d1=1.3658−0.5=0.8658 m
d2d1=1.36580.5=2.7316
Length of hydraulic jumps (L)
The length of hydraulic jump is experimentally found to be 5 to 7 times the height of the hydraulic jump.
It range of 4.329 m to 6.0606 m.
