Rapidly Varying Flow     The Hydraulic Jump  (continued)

 

 

Example:  (continued) 

                               

                                         

 

The specific energy diagram then is:

 

                    

 

 

       hL / E1  =  2.96/4.65  =  0.64   

 

       Result:     Hydraulic jump dissipates 64% of incoming energy.
