| Abstract | A study of the hydraulic jump occurring within the transition of
a gradually expanding channel is presented. This expanding channel jump is considered to behave as a section of a circular jump. Equations describing the characteristics of the expanding channel jump are derived from the three basic principles of fluid flow. The observations were conducted using six different angles of divergence. The experimental results showed a close agreement with the
theoretical solutions. The general equation developed for the jump,
with proper evaluation of the side pressure force effect, describes well the phenomenon regardless of the angle of divergence. It was also
concluded that the expanding channel jump is relatively better than the jump in a rectangular channel for energy dissipation. An empirical expression for approximating the location of the jump within the transition was also developed. |
