Hydraulic Jump
- A rapidly flowing stream in an open channel suddenly changes to a slowly flowing
stream.
- A sudden rise in elevation of liquid surface.
- An example of steady non-uniform flow.
The surface of the jump is very rough and turbulent, losses being greater as the jump
height is greater.
For small heights, the form of the jump changes to a standing wave.

The hydraulic jump is commonly used at the ends of chutes or the bottom of spillway to
destroy much of the kinetic energy in the flow. It is also an effective mixing chamber, the
violent agitation takes place in the roller.
CE331-5.3
Example 5-1 If 12 m3/s of water per meter of width flows down a spillway onto a horizontal floor
and the velocity is 20 m/s, determine the downstream depth required to cause a hydraulic
jump and the losses in power by the jump per meter of width.

Stilling Basins
A structure for dissipating available energy of flow below a spillway, outlet works, chute, or
canal structure.
At F1 =1 to 1.7 . Standing wave
At F1 = 1.7 to 2.5: Pre-jump, head loss is low. No baffles required if proper length of pool is
provided.
At F1 = 2.5 to 4.5: Transition: a large wave can travel downstream for miles and damage
earth banks and riprap, avoid this range.
At F1 = 4.5 to 9: Range of good jump: Energy absorption ranges from 45 to 70 %. Baffles and
sills may be utilized to reduce length of basin.
At F1 = 9: upward, effective but rough, energy dissipation up to 85%. Other type of stilling
basins may be more economical.
Figure 5-6 Various types of hydraulic jump.
Baffles blocks are frequently used at the entrance to a basin to corrugate the flow. Either
triangular or dentated are employed at the downstream end of the basin to aid in holding the
jump within the paved basin.

CE331-5.6
Example 5-2 A hydraulic jump occurs downstream from a 15 m wide sluice gate. The depth is
1.5 m, and the velocity is 20 m/s. Determine (a) the Froude number and the Froude number
corresponding to the conjugate depth, (b) the depth and velocity after the jump, and (c) the
power dissipated by the jump.

Classwork # 5
A stilling basin at the toe of a spillway has a width of 180 ft. and carries a design discharge of
24,500 cfs, when the upstream lake elevation is 32.0 ft. At this discharge, the tail water elevation
in the channel downstream of the spillway is 25.6 ft. Determine the elevation of floor and choose
the type and dimensions of the stilling basin. Neglect spillway head loss. (10.78, Munson)
CE331-5.8
Homework # 4
The discharge of water over a spillway 40 ft wide is 10,000 cfs into stilling basin of the same width.
The lake level behind the spillway has an elevation of 200 ft, and the river water surface elevation
downstream of the stilling basin is 100 ft. Assuming a 10 percent energy loss in the flow down the
spillway, find the invert elevation of the floor of the stilling basin so that the hydraulic jump forms
in the basin. Select the appropriate US Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) stilling basin and sketch it
showing all dimensions. (Prob 3.8 Strum).
