Effect of corrugated beds on characteristics of submerged hydraulic jump

AbstractHydraulic jump is generally helped in the dissipation of excess kinetic energy downstream of hydraulic structures such as gates, spillways, and weirs. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the available literature on the hydraulic jump properties on corrugated beds. In the present study the effect of spaced triangular strip corrugated bed on submerged jump characteristics has been experimentally investigated. Thirty experimental runs were carried out considering wide range of Froude numbers ranging from 1.68 to 9.29. Experiments were conducted for both smooth and rough bed. The results confirm that sequent depth and jump length were reduced by average values 15.14% and 21.03%, respectively, whereas, jump efficiency was increased by 50.31% at optimum spaced roughness compared to a classical jump respectively. Dimensionless relationships were deduced to predict the jump characteristics. Results of the present study were agreed satisfactorily with the previous studies
