Abstract
- Sills and baffles are appurtenances used to stabilize hydraulic jump in a stilling basin. The force acting on these appurtenances are characterized by the drag coefficient (CD). This paper describes experimental methods carried out in a rectangular channel to analyze the drag characteristics of sill and baffles in free (unsubmerged) and submerged hydraulic jumps. The sills and baffles were designed as per the USBR type III stilling basin guidelines. A calibrated loadcell connected to an Arduino board was used to measure the drag force. Errors in measurements are limited to 1%. The drag co-efficient was obtained for different Froude numbers (F1=U1/√gy1) pertaining to strong jump (4.5–9) for different relative position of sills (xS/y2) and baffles (xb/y2) from the nozzle of the sluice gate. Both forced (unsubmerged) and submerged jumps were investigated. It is seen that the drag coefficient of appurtenances in submerged jumps were lower than those in free jumps. This may be attributed to the reduction in wake size in submerged jumps. Comparisons of the experimental results of the sill with the previous theoretical studies are reasonable.
