Water Engineering II S1 - Hydraulic Jump Practical (1 of 2)

Want cake? Help me with tute questions. Apparenty, the cake is a lie so you won't get any anyway. You can still help me :D There *might* be cake, you never know!

Oh yeah, talk about the video... So anyway, this is a hydraulic jump created in a small tank during a Water Engineering practical in The University of Adelaide. In this video, the downstream gate was lowered, and what you can observe is the position and strength of the jump changing. The jump moves downstream, and becomes weaker.

I can't be bothered going into detail at the moment about what's happening, but I think you get the jist. The water jumps around like crazy and energy is dispersed. Hooray for it.

[argongemini]

did you increase the velocity by lowering the gate?

[WhiteRAZOR]

The super critical flow increases in velocity, yes. That's one thing I remembered.

[fr0zZ3n]

Cool, but I have no idea how it works =D

[WhiteRAZOR]

Haha. I don't really know either to be honest :P I know some stuff, but probably not enough to explain!

[Ypipable]

It's like shock wave occurs with light or sound. Those are more ethereal while water is more substantial from them.

You will probably find out . . .
