Hydraulic Jump

Hydraulic Jump

Example
An upstream channel enters a horizontal channel at a discharge of 792 cfs. The
upstream channel has a slope of 0.04 and a Mannings n of 0.03. Both the
upstream channel and the horizontal channel are 10 feet wide. is assumed to
be 1. (a) Determine if a hydraulic jump will occur, and (b) if the hydraulic jump
occurs at the junction of the two channels, compute the conjugate depths of the
jump and the head loss from the jump.
