| Abstract | A method of creating and controlling a hydraulic jump with a counterflow jet was investigated. This technique consists of directing two jets of water parallel to the channel bottom but in opposite directions such that the impact of the colliding jets produces a force which helps to create a hydraulic jump. An application of this technique would be feasible if for given flow conditions, the downstream depth is less than the necessary sequent depth required to form a jump. Dimensional Analysis was used to determine the functional relationship that exists among the variables involved. This functional relationship was analytically formulated by applying the momentum and continuity equations. In the analysis, two theoretical equations were developed based on different assumptions regarding the mechanics of the flow phenomenon. Solutions of these equations were obtained from computations performed on an IBM 1620 Digital Computer. Experimental tests were conducted which confirm the validity of the theoretical analysis that describes the flow phenomenon. |
