Experimental study of the hydraulic jump on reverse bed with porous screens
Abstract Nowadays, the porous screens have been used extensively in open channels to prevent erosion in ditches as the water in supercritical state flows past the screen which forces the formation of a hydraulic jump upstream of the screen and produces significant energy loss. In this investigation,...

| Summary: | Abstract Nowadays, the porous screens have been used extensively in open channels to prevent erosion in ditches as the water in supercritical state flows past the screen which forces the formation of a hydraulic jump upstream of the screen and produces significant energy loss. In this investigation, the operation of screens has been studied for supercritical flow and the Froude number in the range of 4.5 to 10.6 on two reverse slopes experimentally. In this study, the parameters included arrangements of screens in both the single and double types, and the angle and distance of screens from the hydraulic jump toe. The screens were studied with a porosity of about 50% with square holes. The study results showed that using of screens on the reverse slope of − 0.025 dissipates more energy compared to reverse slope of − 0.015. The screens with double arrangement have better performance and dissipate more energy than the screens with single arrangement, while the distance of screens from the toe of the hydraulic jump does not have a significant effect on the energy dissipation. |
