Experimental Study of the Air-water Shear Flow in a Hydraulic Jump
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although the hydraulic jump has been investigated experimentally for nearly two centuries, little information is known of the air-water flow properties in the shear region. New experiments were performed in a horizontal channel with partially-developed inflow conditions. Distributions of air concentration, mean air-water velocity and bubble frequency were recorded and presented herein. The results indicate an advective diffusion of air in the shear layer. The velocity profiles have a similar shape as wall jet flows but different quantitative parameters must be introduced. The relationship between air content and bubble frequency has a parabolic shape which is not yet understood but was observed previously in open channel flows.

The Effect of Six-Legged Concrete Elements on Hydraulic Jump Characteristics
In the present study, the six legged concrete (SLC) elements are placed at the bed of a flume downstream of a chute in different layouts, densities and number of longitudinal rows of SLC elements. Each test was run for different flow conditions (Froude numbers ranged 5.3 to 8.1). During each test, the water surface profile, the roller length and the jump length measured. Applying the experimen...

The study of two-phase fluid flow behavior in hydraulic structures such as pressurized flow tunnels, culverts, sewer pipes, junctions and other similar conduits is of great importance. A two-phase mixture flowing in a pipe can exhibit several interfacial geometries such as bubbles, slugs or films, depending on the fluid and hydrodynamic properties of flow. The main variables, giving rise to a v...

متن کاملConvective transport of air bubbles in strong hydraulic jumps
A hydraulic jump is a flow singularity characterised by a significant amount of air entrainment in the shear zone. The air is entrapped at the jump toe that is a discontinuity between the impinging flow and the roller. The impingement point is a source of air bubbles, as well as a source of vorticity. Herein the convective transport of air bubbles in the jump roller is re-visited. Some analytic...
متن کاملCharacteristics of S-jump on Roughened Bed Stilling Basin
Formation of hydraulic jump is necessary for dissipation of the excess kinetic energy downstream of spillways and gates. Hydraulic jump stilling basins of sudden expansion are one of the energy dissipater structures which are used where the available tail water depth is less than the required sequent depths. In the present study to further reduce the hydraulic jump sequent depths ratio, a rough...
