| Abstract | A method of dissipating kinetic energy of a circular jet issued
vertically downward had been investigated. The technique consisted of impinging the jet directly on a smooth horizontal surface. As a result a part of the energy would be absorbed by the surface due to impact. The remaining kinetic energy resulted in a radial flow at a supercritical state. Further dissipation of the energy of flow was achieved by creating a hydraulic jump. Circular weirs of 4 ft.in diameter and different heights were used to control tail water depth.
Theoretical analysis of the circular hydraulic jump was made by applying continuity and momentum equations. The energy losses of the jet and the circular hydraulic jump were investigated. Dimensional
analysis was also made to determine functional relationship between
some significant dimensionless parameters of the variables involved
such as the Froude Number of flow before the jump, the ratio of
positions of the jump, and the ratio of depths of flow.
Sharp-edged orifices of 2, 2-^, 3 and 4-in. diameters and three
sizes of circular weir of
1 and 1^-in. heights were used in the
experiment. The tests were performed with the discharge ranging
from 0,0370 to 0.4630 cfs |
