The Hydraulic Jump, in Open-Channel Flow at High Velocity

Karl R. Kennison

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the hydraulics of the turbulent discharge below a spillway dam, where the so-called "jump" frequently occurs. A knowledge of the hydraulic principles involved should enable destructive high velocities and turbulence to be avoided, or intelligently provided for, in the design of flumes, dam foundations, etc.
