Bump followed by hydraulic jump, find bump height
Short answer
Apply continuity and energy between sections 1 and 3 to get v1 = 1.17 m/s, v3 = 3.89 m/s. Sequent depth of supercritical y3 yields y4 = 0.82 m. Critical depth at crest gives bump height h ≈ 0.29 m.
Water in a horizontal channel accelerates smoothly over a bump and then undergoes a hydraulic jump as in figure below. If = 1 m, = 30 cm, estimate , , and bump height h. Neglect friction. [Figure: section (1) upstream with depth ; section (2) on the bump crest of height h; section (3) after the bump with supercritical depth ; a hydraulic jump leading to section (4)]
Given: horizontal channel, m (upstream, subcritical), m (supercritical, after the bump), then a hydraulic jump to . Friction is neglected. Section 1 and section 3 are at the same bed level.
and
Continuity: , so .
Energy (smooth flow over the bump, no loss between 1 and 3):
(after the jump)
Bump height
The flow changes from subcritical to supercritical smoothly over the bump, so it passes through critical depth at the crest (section 2). With :
Answer: m/s; m/s; m; m (critical flow assumed at the crest).
