Abstract

This thesis is based on experimental work conducted in the Hydraulics

Laboratory of Imperial College London. Its primary aim was to study

the properties of hydraulic jumps at near vacuum pressures and to

compare these with those at atmospheric pressure. The experimental

rig necessary for this work demanded an original and well-executed

design in order to withstand the necessary pressures and this is

described under "Experimental Equipment". Some of the snags encountered

in the measurement of fast flow depth and in the computation of mean

velocity are recounted in "Experimental Procedure" and examined more

thoroughly under "Flow Force Imbalance". It is because of the

apparently substantial drop in Flow Force through the jump that a

"great deal of experimental and study time was devoted to this problem.

The production of high-speed fast flow (Froude Numbers > 15) and the

availability of a high speed film camera and an excellent still camera

all lent themselves to an interesting examination of some of the

general properties of the hydraulic jump. This is described under

"Results and Discussion - General". A more detailed study of one of

these properties, air-entrainment, follows the section sub-titled

"Air Entrainment". This is particularly concerned with an investiga-

tion of the mechanisms by which air is entrained. A comparison of the

effects of atmospheric and low ambient pressures on the jump is made

under "The Effect of Low Pressures" with the conclusion that there is

no apparent difference except that the still photographs reveal a

lower concentration of entrained air at near vacuum ambient pressures.

Introduction

The hydraulic jump is a phenomenon of both fascination and value to

the hydraulic engineer. It is of fascination as a spectacle and in

the variety of forms which it assumes, varying from a mere surface

undulation at Froude Numbers just above 1 to a violent, frothy,

exploding roller at Froude Numbers in excess of 9. It is of value

when employed in dissipating energy, mixing chemicals into a flow of

water, raising the surface level of flow indicating rates of flow or

removing air from closed conduits. It is also a useful means of

restoring conditions of uniformity to flow.

According to Rouse and Ince1 the existence of the hydraulic jump Was

first described in 1500 by Leonardo da Vinci, proposed by Venturi in

1797 as a means of gaining potential head from fast flow, wrongly

analysed using energy principles by Belanger in 1828, and correctly

analysed using momentum principles by Bresse in 1835.

Much research has been conducted into the behaviour of the hydraulic

jump2 but there are still several characteristics, including the

mechanism of air entrainment and the propagation of downstream waves,

which are not yet fully understood. The particular purpose of this

research was to investigate the effect of low ambient pressures on

the various characteristics of the jump. Such an investigation has

specific-relevance in respect of jumps forming in the top limbs of

siphon conduits, but it was also hoped that the work might throw

further light in general on the nature of the hydraulic jump.

-8-

In order to study the jump at a wide range of Froude Numbers a flume

was built with a working section 3m long by 100mm wide by 375mm high.

One technique for lowering the ambient pressure, as used by Binnie and

Sims3 (and others), was to enclose the working section (e.g. of

vertical pipe and siphon outlets) in a de-compression chamber. However,

with the large equipment required for the present research this

procedure was impractical and a design based on that devised at Leeds

University by Hunter, Swales and Cole4 was adopted. This equipment

comprised essentially a water tunnel operating on a closed circuit

with a circulating pump located sufficiently far below the working

section to avoid cavitation problems.

It was not expected that there would be any significant change in the

properties of the hydraulic jump at low ambient pressures. From

consideration of momentum principles it is apparent that provided the

ambient pressure is the same at either end of the 'control volume'

the momentum equation and hence the various physical dimensions on

which it is based should remain unchanged by a varying ambient

pressure. In a different context Binnie and Sims showed that for

vertical pipe outlets and siphon spillways flowing both full and part-

full "the reduction of ambient pressure had no noticeable effect on

the relation between head and water discharge, although the air

discharge was lessened".

The formation of bubbles in a water stream is normally considered to

be influenced by both surface tension and viscosity but it is possible

that at very low pressures the incipient release of dissolved gases

(if not the formation of bubbles of water vapour) will affect the air

entrainment properties of a hydraulic jiMp, and hlhce such factors

-9-

as bulking and splashing, in that there would be two 'bubble—forming'

activities occurring together. Furthermore it is argued5 that air

entrainment depends on the velocity rather than the Froude Number of

the flow approaching the jump. An analysis based on this assertion

was therefore indicated. With the use of high speed photography

detailed observations might reveal some of the mechanisms involved in

air entrainment.

The test rig was designed to give flow rates up to 0.015 m3/s with

Froude Numbers of up to 16. Surprisingly, little research has

apparently been done into the properties of jumps over the range 104(

Npr.16. The theory of the hydraulic jump by Bresse assumes a horizontal

bed, hydrostatic pressure and uniform velocity distribution, and

negligible boundary shear. In 1936 Bakhmeteff and Matzke6 referred

to the "slight effect of friction forces" and stated "it remains for

experiments to show in general whether this assumption of negligible

shear is justified". The present research indicated that for NF>8

the boundary shear is not negligible even with the smooth boundaries

of a laboratory flume, thus confirming similar findings by Rajaratnam6.

Experimental Equipment

The working section of the equipment comprised a 100 mm flume

which had previously been proved to be suitable for studying open

channel flow phenomena in two dimensions. The height and length of

the flume were based on considerations of the anticipated sizes of

the hydraulicjumps and were fixed at 375 mm and 3 m respectively.

In order to facilitate a change of ambient pressure the flume had to

be enclosed with a roof. Both the roof and walls needed to be of

substantial strength in order to resist the intended differential

between the changing. ambient pressure inside the flume and atmospheric

pressure outside. The working section was therefore designed as a

bolted steel frame with removable 38 mm thick Perspex side windows

each of which was suspended above its centre of gravity by a pivotted

arm. This enabled the window to be swung out single-handed whenever

access to the inside of the flume was required. Rubber '0' ring

seals effected the seal between the windows and the main frame of the

working section. The structural design of the working section was

similar to that designed for the study of cavitation and associated

phenomena with bodies piercing or near to a free surface at Leeds

University.4

Whilst the equipment for this present research was designed with a

variety of possible future uses in mind, its primary function was to

provide the fast flow necessary for the formation of a wide range of

• hydraulic jumps (as observed by Chow8 ) with supercritical flow

velocities up to 6 m/s. An undershot gate was included,at the entry

to the flume, and, in order to give a flow parallel to the bed (i.e.

no versa contracta) and to avoid the posdibility oll'leakage or

-13-

cavitation effects past any slots, a slotless gate with a semi-circular

bottom profile was moulded in silicone rubber reinforced with a steel

backing plate. The width of the gate was such that the sides fitted

flush with the inside walls of the working section. Adjustment of the

gate was effected by a non-rising spindle passing through an ,01 ring

seal. The tailgate was an overshot sharp-edged weir operated in a

vertical plane by an inverted version of the inlet gate spindle.

The intended variation of ambient pressure gave rise to two problems'

which had to be resolved in the design of the apparatus.

-First, exposure of the water to atmospheric pressure could not be

allowed anywhere in the flow system otherwise changes of flow rate

could occur with every change of ambient pressure. The equipment was

therefore designed as a closed loop circuit with the working section

uppermost; a pump rather than an open overhead tank was employed for

maintaining a water flow, a by-pass with a valve (operated by an

extended spindle) was included so that the flow could be controlled

at the level of the working section. The flow was measured with a

75 mm diameter sharp-edged orifice plate designed in accordance with

B.S. 1042. Rigid 100 mm P.V.C. pipework made up the rest of the

circuit with the exception of the lengths just upstream of the inlet

structure to the flume and just downstream of the outlet tank. These

were made up with 100 mm diameter flexible armoured hose in order to

allow movement in the pipework when the flume was tilted.

Second, there was a danger of cavitation occurring at certain

vulnerable locations in the flow circuit at low ambient pressures.

In order to avoid such dangers in the pump the latter was sited at

-14-

basement level some 8 m below the working section. Both the by-pass

valve and the orifice were located at positions on the delivery pipe

such that cavitation would be avoided.

The,transition from a 100 mm diameter circular pipe to the 375 mm by 100 mm rectangular duct of the working section was realised by using

a short 'round to square' transition 50 mm long connected to a long

curved square to rectangular transition. These changes of cross-

section were designed so as to reduce the possibility of separated

flow and cavitation at the changes of direction in the inlet structure

and to produce an acceptably uniform velocity profile in the working

section. In pursuit of this latter requirement, turning vanes and a

honeycomb flow straightener were allowed for in the inlet, but they

proved to be unnecessary in practice. The design of the transitions

was based on formulae devised by Hoffmann9.

One further consideration in the design of the flow system was that

there had to be sufficient capacity in the circuit to provide for a

working section full of water during experimental work, yet empty when

not in use. This would permit access to the flume when required and

preclude the growth of algae and rust marks on or near the viewing

panels. Problems of pump surge and (more importantly) removal of

entrained air had also to be solved. Although air entrainment is a

typical property of the hydraulic jump, a false picture of the jump

could have resulted if the upstream fast flow had included air which

had been carried round the flow circuit. In order to eliminate

these problems a balancing tank of capacity 0.75 m3 was incorporated

in the system downstream of the flume outlet. The design of this

balancing tank was the result of experimental work which was

-15-

conducted on a full-size model to ascertain what manner of flow through

such a tank was most likely to de-aerate the water. Figure 2 illustrates

the final design.

Depth measurements in the working section were to be made by means of

bed tappings connected to stilling wells. The former, however, proved

.unreliable with flow velocities in excess of 2 m/s (see page 18 ) and

the fast flow depths were therefore measured by a simple point gauge

cranked so as to obtain a set of transverse depths. Velocity profiles

were obtained with total head probes and the flow rate by means of the

pipe-orifice plate and water manometer.

The ambient pressure was reduced by a jet pump connected to the

upstream and downstream ends of the flume roof with a further connection

to the roof of the balancing tank. It was thus hoped to obviate any

pressure imbalances along the working section which might arise whilst

the ambient air was being evacuated and which might have affected the

force relationships of the hydraulic jump.

One problem which the Leeds University researchers4 had encountered

with a closed loop system was an increase in turbidity of the water

due to rust in the circuit. The problem was dealt with in the present

rig by cadmium plating all the steel of the working section, galvanis-

ing all other steel and using plastic pipe fittings throughout the

circuit. - The pump which was Sigmund pulsometer TPN3-150/150 was

constructed of bronze throughout and had a rating of 180 gpm at 1450 rpm

and 13 ft head (0.0136m3/s at 24c/s and 4m head).

The detailed design and construction of the equipment was all undertaken

'at Imperial College. As soon as it had been erected it was tested in

situ for air-tightness down to ambient pressures of 3 mm of mercury

-16-

absolute. After one or two minor adjustments the equipment proved

acceptable for proceeding with the experimental work. Tests for air-

tightness at ambient pressures above atmospheric were not conducted

as it was not intended to pursue research at such pressures at this

stage. When such research is undertaken a 'burst-plate' will have to

be fitted for reasons of safety.

The working section of the equipment was located on the steel platform

comprising the uppermost level of the Imperial College Hydraulics

Laboratory. This platform was deliberately sited one atmosphere above

sump level. An estimate of the maximum gross weight of the working

section was calculated at 18 kN, well within the loading limit of the

platform.

A diagram of the complete apparatus and a photograph of the working

section are shown in Figure 2 and Plate 1.

III EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE

-17-

Experimental Procedure

Before the apparatus could be completely designed and constructed an

appropriate means of removing entrained air from the flow leaving the

working section had. to be devised. The balancing tank already

described offered a suitable location for air removal. A full-sized

model of the tank, the size and shape being gauged on the balancing

volume, was therefore subjected to tests to ascertain an efficient and

economic means of removing air from the water.- Water carrying a large

amount of entrained air was passed through the tank, which was set up

' to simulate its anticipated flow conditions, and a variety of baffle

plates were manoevered so as to give maximum encouragement to the

entrained air bubbles to surface. The design eventually adopted is

shown in Figure 2.

The orifice plate, described under Experimental Equipment was

calibrated volumetrically in a rig in which the orifice was located

between the actual upstream and downstream lengths of pipe which

would accompany it in the main experimental work.

Following the installation of the completed experimental rig, tests

were conducted for water tightness (no problem), air tightness at low

pressures (slight leaks in, which were progressively minimised but

never entirely eliminated) and effectiveness of the air separator

(very effective except for minute bubbles).

It was intended to measure the depths throughout the working section

by means of bed tappings 3/32" (2.4 mm) in diameter connected to

stilling wells. Whilst at low velocities (4:0.5 m/s) the levels in

the stilling wells tallied with the observed depths in the flume, at

high velocities (7-3 m/s) this was not so. As a test, fast flow was

-18-

produced along the whole length of the flume at the lowest flow rate

for a particular undershot gate setting and the flow rate then

gradually increased in stages. Although the stilling well levels were

uniform at first at each stage, the levels changed in a random manner

as the velocity increased. At 6 m/s the level from the most upstream

tapping for instance became 10 mm higher than both its neighbour and

the observed level of the water surface in the flume. Inserts with

1/32" (0.8 mm) diameter holes were then fitted into the three most

upstream of the tappings but, with every usual precaution taken

against imperfect finishing, alignment etc., the level variation

described above persisted though not to such a marked degree. One

could but draw the conclusion that water surface levels in flows with

velocities in excess of 3 m/s cannot be measured reliably by means of

bed tappings and stilling wells. This problem has been studied by

other researchers11,12,13. Of these, Whitell has shown that the

error depends on tapping diameter and the Reynolds' Number. This

confirms the findings in the present research. One of White's graphs

and an appropriate sample calculation are included in the Appendix (pages

92 and 93). To look at this another way, White states that "in general

there is a curvature of streamlines adjacent to the hole which creates

pressures marginally above the true static pressure". If only 1% of

the kinetic head at a main stream speed of 6 m/s is impounded in this

way an error of approximately +20 mm is likely to occur in the stilling

well reading. With bed tappings thus ruled out, a cranked point gauge

on a micrometer screw was used for depth measurements in the fast flow

region. This enabled a traverse of the surface elevation to be made

for each value of y1 and Q.

The main quantitative results of this research were achieved using

the following procedure:

(a) the undershot sluice gate was set at a fixed opening

*A detail of one of these tappings is shown on page 91.

-19-

(b) with the ambient pressure at atmospheric the flow rate

was varied, by operating the by-pass valve, for anything

between 4 and 6 values which were based largely on the

visual recognition of different types of jump; upstream

depths, y1 , as near the toe of the jump as possible were

measured by point gauge; downstream depths, y2, beyond

the zone of aeration, were measured by stilling wells

connected to bed tappings; the jump was kept in position

by adjusting the overshot tailgate so that the fixed point

at which yl was measured was always just upstream of the

toe.

(c) this procedure was repeated for different gate settings.

(d) the ambient pressure was reduced to as near absolute zero

as possible (it was usually 20-75mm mercury absolute) and

maintained at this pressure for at least 30 minutes; the

processes in (b) and (c) were then repeated, visual

judgement again being used in deciding the form of jump

at which to take readings.

In this way a cycle of sets of readings at atmospheric and at vacuum

pressure was obtained.

In addition to taking quantitative observations it was necessary to

make visual observations of any changes in the characteristics of the

jump as the ambient pressure was varied. These were not only described

from observation but also recorded by still photographs and high-speed

-20-

film. The still photographs taken at a speed of 1/250 sec were of

the complete length of the flume but the high speed camera, for

photographic reasons, could cover an area no larger than that

occupied by the toe of a jump. In order to film as much of a jump

as possible,, low Froude Numbers (3 and 1.8) were therefore chosen.

The speed of the film varied between 800 and 900 frames per second.

Owing to the apparent problem of flow force imbalance (see page 35)

various attempts were made to obtain more detailed information through

measurement. These included:

(1) measurements made with a Betz micromanometer connected

across the most upstream and the most downstream roof

tappings to ascertain whether the transport of entrained

air to the downstream end of the flume was causing a local

increase of ambient pressure there and resulting in a

pressure gradient opposite to the direction of the water

flow.

(2) measurement with a total head tube to determine velocity

profiles on the vertical centre-line.

(3) measurements using a triple-pointed set of total head

tubes to check on the velocity distribution transverse

to the flow direction.

Throughout all the experimentation. the slope of the flume was kept

constant at 1 in 480. This provided enough slope to stabilize the

location of the jumpl° whilst making a negligible contribution

through the effects of gravity to the flow force.

IV RESULTS & DISCUSSION

1 General

-21-

Results and Discussion

1. General

Before looking at the observations and measurements specifically

relating to the effect of low ambient pressures on the hydraulic jump

some of the more general observations made during the experimental

work in this research, and particularly those revealed by some of the

special features of the equipment, will be considered.

The silicone-rubber sluice gate proved most effective in producing a

fast flow without an apparent vena contracta and without 'slot' leakage.

It was unfortunate that as the work proceeded the gate appeared to

shrink a little so that with high heads upstream of the gate slight

leakage did occur at one side of the gate causing a somewhat uneven

surface downstream. Generally, however, the surface of the fast flow

exhibited a rough or wavy form, which can be seen in detail on high-

speed film, (Plates 16-36). At higher velocities (>4m/s) bubbles

could be observed floating on the surface. This uneven surface is

significant in that firstly, as the roughness increases with increasing

velocity, "bubbles of air can be observed being drawn into the flow

and splashes of water can be seen rising into the air".14 This may

be the commencement of self-entrainment of air by a stream. Self-

entrainment was not however observed in the present research with a

smooth bed possibly because of the limited development of the boundary

layer (see page46). It was however observed when a rough bed was

-inserted -(see page 44). Secondly, it is probable that a rougher water

surface will draw along with it a greater amount of air as a form of

boundary layer. This induced air movement is a possible contributory

factor to the magnitude of the air entrainment at the toe of the jump.

The effects of these surface features are discussed in the section

entitled 'Air Entrainment'.

-22-

The velocity distribution of the fast floW*when measured with a total

head tube exhibited a typical turbulent flow profile in the vertical

plane and showed a similar almost uniform distribution in horizontal

planes transverse to the flow. It was therefore assumed reasonable

to calculate the upstream momentum from the mean velocity defined as

/by Chow8

states that the effect of non-uniform velocity distri-

bution on the computed momentum is small compared with the other

uncertanties involved in the computation (e.g. depth measurement).

In this experiment, with the significant problems associated with

depth measurement, this statement is undoubtedly valid. Furthermore,

calculations based on velocity traverses and described later in this thesis

(page 43) show thatligi , the fast flow momentum correction factor was

almost always unity.

With regard to the measurement of y1 a careful check was kept on the

possibility of a random variation of measurement due to splashing or

. unevenness of the water surface by basing calculations on the value

of y1 measured at the lowest flow rate (for a given gate setting) when

the surface was smoother. Little variation was observed between the

' values obtained with a rough surface (high velocity) and those

obtained with a smooth surface (low velocity). Further reference to

depth measurement is made later in this thesis (page 35 et seq.)

Progressing downstream with the discussion, interesting observations

were made of particular characteristics of the hydraulic jump. (The

more general characteristics are well documented in standard texts.)8'15

Figure 3

At all values of Froude Number the position of the toe of the jump

`continually fluctuated upstream and downstream, the shift distance, /,

varying from about 50 mm at NF = 3 to about 500 mm at NF = 15. (See I

Figure 3) This factor raised problems in establishing the precise

location of yi at high values of Froude Number. The high-speed films

reveal a very similar mechanism in this regard at low NFI (1.8) to

that at higher values of NF (10-16) though this similarity is not

immediately apparent to the naked eye. In the high-speed films the

structure of the movement of the toe could be more closely examined.

In fact, the movement appeared,when observed in a slow motion playback

of a high-speed film, to be more that of a tongue rather than a toe,

successively thrusting forward and retracting rather like a lizard's

tongue and always 'flapping' on the rough surface of the approaching

flow. The overall movement of water in the jump is that of a reverse

roller. The fast moving flow passes downstream underneath the

surging toe. In the toe itself the flow is upstream on the free

surface and downstream in the shear_layer which occurs at the liquid

to liquid interface on the underside of the toe. (See Figure 3 )

This shear layer gradually thickens in the downstream direction as

more of the upper region of the fast flow becomes retarded and more

of the lower region of the toe becomes accelerated in the downstream

direction. The movement of the tongue is clearly shown in Plates 2

and 3 taken at a 1 sec interval.

*all plates show flow from right to left unless otherwise stated.

Looking further along the body of the jump it could be seen that the

shear layer interface (between the fast flowing jet under the jump

and the reverse roller) became undulating in nature at NF = 3. At

this Froude Number and for progressively higher values this undulation

caused the downstream end of the toe of the jump to snake up and down,

producing both splashing and gulping in of, air: this phenomenon is

at its most consistent at 3>Nr,.‹. 4. The undulating shear layer might 2.

be explained as a form of critical flow which occurs when the fast

moving jet is retarded by the wall of slower-moving water so that it

reaches the state where a train of waves forms in a similar manner to

that which occurs with free surface flow at critical conditions.

Plate 4 and Figure 4 illustrate this phenomenon. The decrease in

specific energy which this implies might also be encouraged by the

formation of a separation bubble as the boundary layer separates under

the toe of the jump as described by Silberman and as shown in the

following sketch:

z*-

Figure 4

Stefrelt-crtion ac.4.6.6./e

An indication of this separation bubble was produced in the present

research by causing the hydraulic jump to move first upstream and then

downstream over a bed tapping through which a jet of dye was injected

into the flow. Whereas the jet was generally directed firmly downstream

by the flow adjacent to the flume bed, it was observed to flicker

alternately upstream and downstream at a point approximately three

quarters of the length of the jump from the toe.

-25-

At lower values of Froude Number the undulating shear layer is not

apparent, and at higher values, it becomes part of a larger scale

violent eddying in which the wave train appears intermittently. It

is possible that these violent eddies constitute a breakdown of the

wave train. Whatever their origin they appear to be closely linked

to two types of upwash: surges and 'explosions' which occur at the

surface of the jump. The roller takes pronounced vertical leaps in

'riding' both the undulating waves and the eddies. Silberman looks at

this slightly differently: "slugs of water roll intermittently down the

steep face and fall into the high velocity jet. A surface surge is

created each time the slug makes contact with the jet". The observations

of the present research suggest that the series of events, described above,

at the toe of the jump is closely linked to the eddy formation described

earlier. This is well illustrated in Plates 5 and 6 taken 2 sec apart,

and in Plates 30-36 taken from the high-speed film at approximately

1/20 sec intervals. The 'explosions' or sudden upwashes of water are

of random frequency and amplitude. They occur in the shallower depths

of the jump and produce considerable spray. At the deeper end of the

jump the upwashes assume a less violent form of surge and often cause a

small surface roller to occur in the opposite direction to that of the

main surface roller of the jump (see Plate 7). The "explosion" does

not appear well on still photographs but Plate 8 shows one occurring

at N = 15. Still photographs taken from the high-speed film show Fl

the sequence of events during the occurrence of an "explosion". (See

Plates 23 to 29 which are on average /50 sec apart).

One further feature related to the upwash is the formation of a large

solitary wave which moves downstream from the jump following the

occurrence of a surge. This is illustrated in Plates 9 and 10 taken

at 1 sec intervals and in Plates 16 to 22 taken from the high-speed

1 film at intervals averaging /50 sec.*

*All the plates taken from the high-speed film are negative prints.

-26-

As the Froude Number increases to 15 there also appears a clockwise

(with flow from left to right) eddying motion in the jump, which is

opposite in circulation to, and downstream of, the reverse roller.

A stagnation point forms at the surface and appears as an exaggerated

form of the surge.

/ / / / /

-Figure 5

This point can also be seen in Plate 11 where the jump hits the roof

of the flume.

Another interesting aspect to observe as the Froude Number progresses

from 1.5 to 15 is in the outline shape of the jump. At 1.5 the reverse

roller is a compact phenomenon, stable and largely confined to a depth

in excess of y1 (see Plate 12) At a Froude Number of 3- 4 the wave

train previously referred to causes a breaking up of this stable

roller and the toe or tongue is longer (see Plate 13).

At Froude Number 5- 9 the jump becomes more stable with only inter-

• mittent large scale wave formation in the fast jet. For values of

NF1

of 9-15 as described previously the jump becomes unstable and

violent with a long tongue snaking upstream for as much as 0.5 m.

Various experimenters17,18,19,

have examined the parameters relating

to the length of the hydraulic jump. 4 Although their work is well

documented comparisons are of doubtful value because (a) there are

varied definitions of the end of a jump and (b) the suggeSted 'ends'

such as the point at which the jet rises from the floor, and the

location of the downstream end of the rolrer are dif!icult to determine

-27--

in practice. Rajaratnam7 claims however that general agreement has

been reached to define the end of the jump as the section at which the

water surface becomes essentially level and the mean surface elevation

is maximal. This point is taken up again at the end of the next

paragraph.

As Mentioned in the Introduction Kenn and Zanker5 have argued that air

entrainment is related to the velocity rather than the Froude Number of

the fast jet. This being so it is probable that if any properties of

a hydraulic jump are dependent on the air entrainment process then they

will also be dependent on the velocity rather than the Froude Number of

the fast flow. Accordingly measurements and photographs were taken of

hydraulic jumps having approximately the same value of Froude Number,

6.4; but different velocities. Plates 14 and 15 illustrate the

visible differences. The faster flowing jet 3.5 m/s in Plate 15

entrains more air than that in Plate 14 at 2.85 m/s. Furthermore the

.length of the jump, as defined by Rajaratnam, appears to be greater

for the jump with the higher upstream velocity. Whether there is any

direct connection between air entrainment and jump length, each

• perhaps related to energy loss, it is impossible to say at this stage

of this research.

III RESULTS & DISCUSSION

2 Flow Force Imbalance

2. Flow-Force Imbalance

The flow force, defined as the force required theoretically to bring

the flow to a halt and described algebraically as pgy:2

+pV„q per

unit width, was calculated from measured values of yl y2 and Q.

One of the first things the calculations revealed was that the

upstream value of flow force was greater than that downstream i.e.

F1 > F2.

This difference is Most clearly seen in the graph of Fel vs Nri

(Fig. 11) and also in the divergence of the curve of y21y1 vs

NFl (Fig. 10) from the elementary classical theory which gives

y2/y1(..11 8NF12 - 1). A careful analysis of the possible

causes of this divergence was necessary. Immediate comparison with

previous researchers(see overlay0Dig. 10) indicated that the

discrepancy in this research was unusually great. Both Rajaratnam17

and Harleman18

agree that a divergence exists but whereas at NF1

10

their deviation from the elementary theory is about 5%, that obtained

in this present research was of the order of 10% with an even more

marked divergence at higher values of NFl. A check on the accuracy

of measurements was therefore made.

The most suspect measurement was that of y1, the upstream depth. An

error of in the measurement of y1 would have resulted in an error

of 5% in F1; dF1 dy1 Mi

F.

and 5% represents. the difference,

F1 y1

--at N= 10 between these values of F1 and those of other researchers.

For a depth of 20 mm this means an error of 1 mm. As the higher

values of NFl could only be obtained at depths of the order of 20 mm

and it was at these values that the discrepancy was most apparent,

*Equation (1)

-35°

the accuracy of the measurements of y1 was subjected to close

scrutiny.

The first problem arising in this regard was that the bed tappings

proved unreliable in giving true readings of fast flow depth, a fact

elaborated upon under 'Experimental Procedure' (page 18 ). The only

available alternative and specific means of measuring depth was a

point gauge. This device very accurately locates the free surface

in tranquil flow where a surface ripple immediately becomes apparent

when the point touches the surface. In shooting flow, however, not

only are all ripples carried downstream, but as the velocity rises,

the surface level becomes progressively difficult to locate due to

the increasing activity of surface waves and splashes, a problem

encountered by other researchers.31

It is therefore necessary to

establish by eye a mean surface level by some other method such as

judging the level of the tip of the pointer when it breaks the surface

for approximately half an observed time, in this case 30 seconds. As

a further check, for each gate setting, the value of y1 , measured at

the lowest value of flow rate when surface disturbance was not great,

was compared with y1 measured at the highest flow rate. In each case

the values correlated accurately within 2%.

Any error in the measurement of y1 would have to be an underestimate

of the depth in order to cause an overestimate of the upstream flow

force. The possibility was investigated, therefore, that a dishing

of the fast flow surface might exist due to a vortex formation

upstream of the sluice gate being carried downstream under the gate.

However, such vortices would usually be expected to rotate in plan

as follows:

'37)-

0 Row ),›

Figure 6

and therefore produce an upwelling rather than a dishing at the centre

of the fast flow downstream of the gate. This sense of rotation was

observed in vortices upstream of a sluice gate in an open flume of

similar dimensions.

A traverse of the depth y1 with a cranked pointed confirmed that there

was no dishing of the fast flow surface. There was, however, a

variation of depth across the width, at velocities in excess of 3m/s,

mainly due to the presence of superelevated waves which probably

resulted from a slight assymmetry of flow. It will be recalled that

in the later stages of the experimental work there appeared an

increasing amount of leakage past the side of the rubber sluice gate

at high velocities, a factor which would have caused such waves to

appear.

In order to reduce the likelihood of errors due to variation of depth

across the flow depth traverses were taken at all depths and flow

rates. The mean depths which were calculated from these traverses

were always within 1% of the centre line depth. A further check on

the depth measurement was undertaken by measuring the gate opening

for each flow and, with the toe of the jump only 350 mm from the gate,

assuming y1 to be equal to the gate opening. The gate is designed to

have a contraction coefficient of 1. (A full scale replica of the

gate was tested in an open flume at velocities up to 2m/s and the

value of contraction coefficient was confirwed. It was, however,

impossible to obtain velocities nearer the 6m/s obtained in the

experimental flume.) A calculation showed the displacement thickness

of the boundary layer at this distance from the gate would be no more

than 1 mm at V1 6m/s which for a depth of 20 mm gives an error of 5%.

This error would, however, have the effect of reducing the upstream

flow force. Values of various parameters based on the assumption that

,yi is equal to the gate opening are shown in the graphs and do not show

any substantial deviation from the pattern of values obtained from the

point gauge readings.

As stated under 'Experimental Procedure' the downstream depth y2 was

measured by means of bed tappings and stilling wells. The question

arose, therefore, whether the values of y2 were accurate and indeed

valid as a basis of estimating pgy2./ the downstream hydrostatic

force per unit width. Comparisons of the stilling well levels

appropriate to different values of y2 were made with values estimated

by eye on a scale fixed to the side of the flume at the appropriate

position. The two sets of values thus obtained corresponded with

each other well within the limits of accuracy required. It was also

apparent that in cases where the last two or three bed tappings were

all downstream of the jump, the two or three equivalent stilling well

readings correlated with each other to within 1 or 2%. The value of

y2

was already measured downstreaM-O'f,the zone of aeration and the

density of the flow at that point could validly be taken as that of

water and not an air/water mixture.

The one outstanding possible source of experimental error was the

calibration of the orifice plate by which the flow rate was measured.

In order to avoid the possibility of cavitation at the orifice when

pressures near absolute zero existed in the flume, it was necessary

to site it only 2500 mm (i.e. 25 pipe diameters)XStream of the

by-pass tee in the pipework and 2800 mm from the pump. It will be

recalled from 'Experimental Procedure' that the orifice was calibrated

in another part of the laboratory in a horizontal length of straight

100 mm diameter pipe with an approach length of 4000 mm. A check on

the calibration curve (Figure 17) using BS1042 indicated that this

calibration was accurate. However the situation of the orifice in

the experimental rig was by no means identical to that in the calibra-

tion rig and it was clear that an approach length of 25 pipe diameters*

was close to the limits of accuracy prescribed by BS1042. A confirm-

atory in-situ calibration was impractical so a helix meter was fitted

into the suction pipe about 1m above the pump and with a straight

approach length of 5.5 m. The values of discharge registered by the

helix meter were plotted against AH,the orifice manometer reading,

for five separate flow rates and these values were found to correspond

almost exactly with the original orifice calibration. The helix

meter manufacturers (Kent Meters) confirmed the accuracy of this device

to be within -± 2% in this location. The orifice calibration and

confirmatory values are shown in Figure 17.

The validity of the assumptions made in the elementary theory

(Equation ) had then to be checked. These are:

a) uniform pressure distribution

b) uniform velocity distribution

c) negligible gravity effects

d) negligible boundary shear.

or 2500mm in the experimental rig.

With regard to pressure distribution, Rajaratnam15 using a Prandtl

tube established that the pressure distribution is non-hydrostatic

only in a short length near the beginning of but within the jump.

There was no evidence in this research to contradict this.

Rajautnam's15

measurement of velocity distribution in the fast flow

indicated uniformity for approximately 95% of the depth. His •

measurements were however located at the vena contracta immediately

downstream of an undershot gate where it was unlikely that the

boundary layer had developed to any significant extent. Visual

observations of movement of minute air bubbles downstream of the

jump in this research indicated at all times that the velocity

distribution downstream.(Section 2)was as uniform as that in the fast

flow. The question of momentum correction due to velocity distri-

bution is dealt with more fully in the following pages. The slopeof

the flume throughout this work was 1 in 500 and the maximum error in

Flow Force which could result from this due to gravity effects was

only 0.5N/m.

Boundary shear therefore became the most probable source of the flow

force discrepancy. The most thorough analysis of the dynamic

characteristics of the hydraulic jump allowing for boundary shear

is given by Rouse et a1.17 In addition to considerations of the

above mentioned assumptions they include a term which allows for the

effect of turbulence flux.

directions. The first term of the left hand side of the equation

embodies the net momentum flux of the mean flow and the second term

the difference between rates of influx and efflux turbulence (i.e.

the net turbulence flux). The first term on the right hand side

embodies the mean normal force exerted externally on the surface of

the region; the second term the three components of the weight of

fluid contained in the region and the third term the 3 components of

the mean tangential force exerted on the surface. If the hydraulic

jump is in two dimensions the relevant equation is for direction x.

In their analysis Rouse et al assumed ;that the turbulence flux is

negligible at section 1, that the pressure distribution is hydrostatic

and that both the viscous stress and turbulence stress are negligible

which is equation 1.

Using Rouse et al's values of mean point velocities and mean

disturbance velocities, fu ,3 2. and 12 can be calculated. Such

derived values show that the momentum flux corrections /3, and/

and the turbulence flux correction 12 tend to cancel each other. For

instance at a value of NF1 of 6, the values of /3" 7a 2_,I2 and J are

respectively 1.01, 1.02, 0.15 and 7.70. These figures yield a value

for the denominator of equation 7 of 6.63. If s, = 1 and 12 = 0

as the elementary theory assumes, then the denominator becomes 6.67.

This illustrates the way in which the above mentioned corrections tend

to cancel each other. As a check, velocity profiles at section (1)

were measured in this present research with a total head tube for a

variety of depths and values of /31 calculated by dividing the

cirintegrated momentum profiles O udy by the mean momentum

shown in Table 6 show that *" was unity within— 1%, thus

confirming the above assumptions. In equation 7 therefore the only

remaining factor which could affect the flow force balance resulting

in a reduction of the downstream dept4 is that due to bed shear.

(The effect of bed shear may be seen as similar to that of baffle

piers in applying a force to the stream in the opposite direction to

the flow.) Bed shear was therefore considered to be the principal

factor in the reduction of the flow force in this research.

Rajaratnam17 confirmed this view as a result of measurements of bed

-43—

-44-

shear in hydraulic jumps using a Preston Tube. Nominating E; as

F1 F2 that is the ratio of the integrated bed shear force

gY2/2

per unit width to the hydrostatic component of force at the beginning

of the jump, he developed the equation

2( Y1Y )3 - 37.2/,/yi (1 - C 2NF12 ) 2R,„ = 0 ri . . . (8)

Both this equation and equation 7 derived byqlarleman yield a common

curve on the graph of y2/y1 us NF1 shown in Overlay (i) for Fig. 10.

The difference between this curve and that derived from equation 1 is

about 4% at NF1 = 10.

However, the difference between the curve derived in this present

research and that resulting from equation 1 is of the order of

10 - 15% at NF1 = 10. Further examples of the differences in the

flow force discrepancy is shown in overlay (i) for Fig. 10 where

values from the present tests are compared with those derived by

Rajaratnam,15 Harleman16

and Peterka.1,8

There are, however, significant differences in the conditions of flow

in all the other tests referred to. Harleman's figures are based on

an air flow simulation of the hydraulic jump in a duct 24 inches

(600 mm) wide: Rajaratnam's flume was 12 inches (300 mm) and Peterka's

12.125 inches (307 mm) wide. It is possible that the narrowness of the

4 inch (100 mm) flume in the present tfsts affected the flow force in

that the sidewalls made a more significant contribution to the

boundary shear than in the wider flumes of other researchers.

Two further sets of tests were conducted in order to investigate this

'problem further. In one, a rough bed was inserted into the flume.

-45-

This was a piece of English Abrasives Aluminium oxide RH Cloth

147,* of mean roughness height 1.256 mm glued along the complete length

of the flume bed. It had the incidental effect of aerating the fast flow

jet at velocities above 5m/s. The quantitative results are shown in

overlays (ii), Figs, 10, 11 and 12 and indicate a further reduction of

flow force through the jump compared with the results obtained with the

normal machined steel bed. However, the reduction is not so significant as

to lead to the conclusions that the differences in values produced by this

research with the normal bed and those obtained by Rajaratnam, Harleman,

and Peterka might be the result of the normal bed of this flume being

rougher than those of the other researchers mentioned.

In another set of tests, an attempt was made to estimate the value of

boundary shear by establishing uniform fast flow throughout the length

of the flume at various depths and flow rates! The maximum slope of

1/20 obtainable with the flume imposed a limitation on the maximum

velocity and minimum depth which could be observed in this manner.

It is not possible to calculate what factor should be applied to the

values of shear thus obtained in order to relate them to the equivalent

hydraulic jumps where the fast flow exists in only part of the flume,

but they do show some similarity with the main experimental results. At

the maximum value of NF1 obtained, 4.1, the value of F1 F2 over the

length of the flume was 28N/m width which compares with the value of

17.7 Wm for the same NF1(arrowed in Table 2(a)) for a jump whose length

was approximately i of the length of the flume.

More detailed calculations of the upstream momentum force were made

using the values obtained by means of the total head traverses described

on page 43. The integrated profiles were used to derive the values of

V1 '' M1 M2' F1', F2 NF1 1 etc. shown in Table 6 and these values

plotted on overlays (ii) of Figures 10, 11 and 12. These show a consistent

deviation from the classical relationship of the same order as those

obtained previously in the present research.

In a recently published paper21 Leutheusser and Kartha concluded that

inflow conditions could have a marked effect on the boundary shear. They

observed that for a fully developed fast jet (Lel. y1) into the jump,

the boundary shear is considerably higher than that indicated by Rajaratnam

for NF1;>10, although for undeveloped flow (g4. y1) it corresponds more

closely with Rajaratnam's values. Leutheusser and Kartha define the

conditions for fully developed flow as 1/d)200 where 1 is the distance

• from the undershot gate to the toe of the jump and d is the gate opening.

In the present research the value of 1/d for V1 = 6m/s and y1 = 19mm was

950

approximately 3 - 18.4 which indicates an undeveloped flow by the 1

above definition. The experimental work described on page 43 was also

used to determine the state of boundary layer development at section (1)

where all the upstream depths were measured for the main hydraulic jump

experimentation. Vertical traverses with a total head tube were made

on the centre-line of the fast flow at sections (1) (3) and (4) with the

hydraulic jump well downstream. These results are synthesised in Figs.

14 and 15* showing Ythr versus u/V1 , where it can clearly be seen that the

boundary layer at section (1) was only partially developed compared with

sections (3) and (4) where it appears to be fully developed. At section

(3) 1/d = 40 and at section (4) 1/d = 64. This neither confirms nor

contradicts the work of Leutheusser and Kartha as (a) the details of

their investigation are not available, at this stage and (b) in this

present work it proved impossible to measure the velocity at depths

exceeding Y.'/y = 0.8 with the total head tube because of surface

disturbance and the resulting air pockets.

Y1 Overlay (iii} on the graph of Y2 against NF1 (Fig. 10) shows

the curve for developed inflow by Leutheusser and Kartha which may

be compared with the experimental results of the present research.

One final remark on this problem is that it would be misleading to

extrapolate from the value of boundary shear determined in a

laboratory flume to a larger scale situation according to Froude

scaling because the boundary shear stress ocV2. A velocity

scaling, as with air entrainment, would therefore seem appropriate

for boundary shear.

Although it is not directly connected with momentum a mention should

be made here of the values obtained for integrated total head by

III RESULTS & DISCUSSION

3 Air Entrainment

3, Air Entrainment

The precise criteria for the inception of air entrainment have not

yet been established. Various experimenters have however observed

the physical conditions of flow which apparently contribute to the

phenomenon. Lin and Donnelly22

conducted investigations into the

nature of entrainment of gases by liquids by studying the effect of

jets of water falling vertically on to a still water surface. They •

noted that laminar jets drew into the still water a thin envelope of

air which broke up into bubbles at a certain depth. This envelope is

assumed to result from the momentum of the 'carrier' boundary layer

(that is the layer of air adjacent to the surface of the jet which is

drawn into motion by boundary friction) overcoming the surface

tension force at the water surface. An additional factor is the effect

of wave lapping at the shear line between the jet and the still surface.

In the case of turbulent jets Lin and Donnelly observed that distur-

bances developed on the jet surface and Zanker23

observed that under

certain conditions, when subjected to stroboscope lighting, turbulent

jets were not a continuous body of fluid but rather a series of 'blobs'.

In this case there was therefore another possible mechanism of air

entrainment namely the encapsulating of air both in the jet and at the

point of entry to the still surface by discreet blobs of water. It

should be noted that even if the flow has not disintegrated in the way

Zanker described the rough surface.o a turbulent jet would undoubtedly

increase the momentum of the 'carrier' boundary layer and hence

contribute to an envelope of air overcoming the surface tension

force at the water surface.

There is some similarity between the circular jet falling on to a

still water surface and the high velocity rectangular jet meeting the

reversed roller in an open channel flow hydraulic jump.. All the

mechanisms observed from a falling jet, except for the formation of

discreet blobs in the fast jet, are observable in the hydraulic jump,

and in a similar way their existence as significant factors depends

on the degree of fast jet turbulence. For instance the roughness

of the water surface of the fast flow depends on the general turbulence

of the flow. The small surface waves, which increase in size and

activity with increasing velocity of flow and boundary roughness, are

undoubtedly a factor in the development of the 'carrier' boundary

layer which appears to contribute to air entrainment, e.g. when the

jump was advanced up the flume almost to the point of submergence the

amount of air entrainment at the jump decreased markedly. Furthermore

as the velocity and boundary roughness increase so the possibility

arises of air entrainment taking place in the fast flow itself thereby

creating a 'pre—entrained' jump. All of these observations lead to

the conclusion of many researchers 24' 25' 26

that air entrainment

in fast flow occurs when the boundary layer reaches the free surface.

-50-

Even without pre-entrainment however the rough free surface of the

fast jet probably plays a part in trapping air when it meets the toe

of the jump. Progressing to the air entrainment process at the jump

itself, examination of both the high speed films of the jump and still

photographs of the underside of the toe (Plate 49) indicate that the

following phenomena contribute to air entrainment in the hydraulic

jump:

1. pre-entrainment in the fast flow;

2. an envelope of air which is drawn in as a continuous stream of

bubbles at the interface or 'shear layer' between the fast flow

jet and the reverse roller; the greater part of the entrainment

appears to take place here;

than that necessary for a particle of water to have sufficient

momentum to overcome surface tension and leave the surface.

All of the above phenomena can be clearly seen in the sequence of

frames from the high-speed film (Plates 16 to 48) which are selected

at intervals ranging between - 1 - and - 1— sec (Table 7 gives details).

50 25

Various researches have commented on the effect of aeration on the

hydraulic jump: Voinitch26 in respect of length, Chanishvili27

Hamid28

and Hanko29

in respect of energy dissipation and Jevdjevich30

in respect of boundary shear and bulking. None of these effects was

strictly within the terms of reference of this research but the

references are mentioned in passing.

Two other researchers,Uppal25 and Lamb31

have devised and used

techniques for the measurement of air concentration. Such techniques

although they might have been of'great- value were not available for

this research.

One aspect of air entrainment which was illustrated to a limited

extent however was the paramount effect of velocity on the degree of

entrainment. Kenn and Zanker have drawn attention to this matter,

arguing that it is the velocity rather than the Froude Number of the

fast jet which determines the amount of air entrainment. Plates .14

and 15 illustrate this point where the marginally higher velocity

fast jet for the same Froude Number produces apparently a greater

concentration of entrained air in the jump and, as mentioned on

page 27 this is in turn related to a greater length of jump.

IV RESULTS & DISCUSSION

4 Effects of Low Pressures

-52-

4. Effects of Low Pressures

As mentioned in the Intioduction it was not anticipated from the

considerations of momentum principles that a change of ambient

pressure would affect the classical hydraulic jump relationship.

Both the graphs (Figures 10, 11 and 12) and the photographs (Plates 50

* and 51 and all other plates subsequently referred to) confirm this

expectation. Apart from a rather large random scatter, evident in

the graphs, which is probably due to the problem of measuring y1

accurately, the values of Conjugate Depth Ratio, Flow Force Ratio

and Non-Dimensional Boundary Shear, (Figures 10, 11 and 12) are

unchanged by a reduction in pressure. The energy loss also appears

to be unchanged (Figure 13A). The above physical quantities were

compared by graphical examination of numerical values derived from

measurements.

Other comparisons were made by inspection of the still photographs

both at atmospheric pressure and at low pressures. The only

discernable difference observable in these photographs is that the

concentration of the entrained air appears to be less at pressures

near absolute zero (between 20 and 75 mm mercury absolute). This can

most clearly be seen in Plates 54 and 55, 56 and 57, 58 and 59, and

60 and 61. The explanation of this occurrence is not readily apparent.

It could be said that air entrained at lower pressures has perforce

a lower density and therefore rises more quickly to the surface.

However if the bubble sizes are similar in both cases the ratio of

the bubble rise velocity at atmospheric pressure to that at 80 mbar

is approximately 1000:999 which suggests that this is an unlikely

explanation. It may also be possible that because the momentum of

the 'carrier' boundary layer of air at low pressures is less, the

*All the plates taken from the high-speed film are of negative prints.

-53-

entrainment of air at the shear layer is less. A more detailed study

of the movement of air within the jump would be necessary to reach

any conclusions on this matter.

A full list of all the visual observations which were made is given

in Table 1. A set of photographs appropriate to the table is shown

in Plates 50 to 63 immediately following this chart. The remaining

Plates 64 to 73 are included as further typical illustrations of the

charaCteristics opserved. Each pair of photographs was taken at the

same value of Froude Number.

It is of interest that whenever a change of pressure occurred

rapidly, for instance when the vacuum was related, a temporary change

of the position of the jump occurred. As the pressure was allowed to

return to atmospheric the jump moved up to submerge the undershot gate

and only after about a minute following the attainment of atmospheric

pressure did the jump return to the position it held at vacuum pressure.

This occurrence was assumed to be due to the adjustment of pressures

within the flow circuit.

In the discussion of air entrainment in the jump, a circular jet of

water falling on to a still water surface was used as a study model.

It seemed appropriate therefore to investigate the effect of vacuum

pressures on the concentration of entrained air by observing the

behaviour of a jet in the experimental flume as it plunged vertically

on to the surface of a still reservoir of water 'trapped' in the

working section. The sluice gate was completely lowered thus

preventing flow through the flume proper, and a tube was connected

from a tapping upstream of the undershot gate to a length of pitot

tubing which passed through one of the roof tapping points. Two sets

of tests were conducted. Each allowed visual comparisons to be made

between the behaviour of the jet at atmospheric and vacuum pressures.

In the first set insufficient time was allowed in the vacuum condition

to permit the dissolved air in the water to be released and evacua-

ted. As a result the water, in flowing from the higher pressure

upstream of the undershot gate to the vacuum pressure as it emanated

from the pitot tube, arrived at a condition in which the dissolved air

was in the process of being released, and this 'fizzy' jet, plunging

into the still water, gave rise to the cloud of minute bubbles which

can be seen in Plate 77. In comparing Plates 76 and 77 the jet can

-63-

clearly be seen to be plunging deeper in the atmospheric pressure

condition although the apparent release of dissolved air in the

vacuum pressure condition precludes a definite conclusion. In a

separate run of tests the water in the rig was allowed to circulate

in the normal way for three hours, with the jet pump continuously

evacuating, before Plates 81-84 were photographed. These clearly

show an absence of the cloud of minute bubbles previously observed, -

and in comparison with Plates 78-80 indicate a slightly shallower

penetration of the still water by the bubbles of entrained air in

the vacuum pressure condition. This would appear to tally with the

observation of lower air entrainment in the jump under vacuum

pressures, though whether it is due to the lower density of the air

bubbles under these conditions causing them to have less momentum,

or whether it is some other effect, is impossible to say at this stage.

Vacuum pressures then do not appear to affect the overall physical

dimensions of the hydraulic jump but do appear to affect the concen-

tration of entrained air. Further investigations into air concentra-

tion at pressures higher than atmospheric might well prove interesting.

Conclusions

In this research different characteristics of the hydraulic jump have

been studied both qualitively and quantitatively. Rather than leading

to more straightforward explanations on the phenomenon, the study has

thrown light on many more complex properties and effects than are

generally considered; for instance the various mechanisms whereby

air is entrained and the effect of boundary shear on the classical

hydraulic jump relationship. Furthermore considerable thought has

been put into the problem of depth measurement for jets of fast or

supercritical flow without, alas, a truly satisfactory solution being

obtained within the limitations of the equipment. Regarding the

effect of low ambient pressures on the hydraulic jump, what can best

be described as a rather negative conclusion was reached: namely

that there is little effect save in the apparent reduction in the

concentration of entrained air. The wide scatter of values resulting

from the problem of precise fast flow depth measurement casts some

doubt on the conclusion that air concentration is the only property

affected by low pressures, but should there be any others, the

associated trends are not discernable in the graphs.

In a sense it is true to say that this research followed two different

but closely connected paths: one relating to the subject of the title

of this thesis and the other a more general study of the hydraulic

jump which grew out of the special facilities offered by the equipment

e.g. high Froude Numbers, and high speed film. The solid roof and

removable but heavy side panels on the working section were indis-

pensible for conducting tests at low ambient pressures but proved an

encumbrance for the more general study in that they hindered access

-67 -

66-

to the working section. This research therefore, whilst valuable as

a study was not completely satisfactory in arriving at solutions to

problems or in reaching definite conclusions. It does however suggest

at least three areas of further research:

(i) studying the effect of different boundary roughnesses on the

hydraulic jump

(ii) verification of the apparent lower air concentration in

jumps at vacuum pressures using techniques such as those

described by Straub, Killen and LamO

(iii) investigating the influence of ambient pressures higher than

atmospheric on the hydraulic jump.

Notes

(a) These times are based on the assumption that the film ran at 1000 frames a second throughout.

All the films were run at notation 35V except those relating to Plates 37-40 which were at 45V

(b) Plates 24 and 25 are the same. Two prints of the same frame were inadvertantly made and reproduced.

Calculation of typical error due to Bed Tappings

Reference Graph by White11

(Figure 20). Nearest hole diameter

researched by White is 1.02 mm in duralumin.

If it is assumed that shear force is 10N/m run then 2 is 100N/m2

and v = is 0.316m/s. Taking 1) as 1 x 10-6m2/s,

v dt 0.316 x 0.8 x 10-3

1 x 10 6

=253

Extrapolating from graph, = 3 (approx)

.'. at) . 100 x 3 = 300N/m2

L?:1,?.. = 0.03m (approx)

= 30jmm

This is consonant with errors found during this research (see page 18)
