Abstract

This paper deals with the roller length and energy loss of a large variety of hydraulic jumps in horizontal and sloping channels. The supercritical upstream flow originated from a standard ogee weir. A stilling basin with bottom slopes of 0.0, -0.025, -0.050, -0.075, and -0.100 was used to generate the jumps. Based on the energy principle, a semiempirical method to predict the roller length is presented. Predictions based on the proposed method agree well with the results reported by the authors and other researchers. It is shown that the energy loss in the classical jump is greater than that in any jump forming on negative or positive slopes. Key words: hydraulic jump, sloping channel, adverse slope, roller length, energy loss. Cei article traite de la longueur des rouleaux et de la perte d'energie d'une grande variete de ressauts hydrauliques dans les canaux horizontaux et en pente. L'ecoulement surcritique en amont provenait d'un deversoir en doucine standard. Un bassin de tranquillisation muni de pentes de fond de 0.0, -0,025, -0,050, -0,075 et -0.100 a ete utilise pour generer les ressauts. Une methode semi-empirique basee sur le principe de I'energie est presentee afin de prevoir la longueur des rouleaux. Les previsions basees sur la methode proposes concordent bien avec les resultals rapportes par les auteurs et d'autres chercheurs. II a ete demontre que la perte d'energie dans le ressaut hydraulique convent ion nel est superieure a celle de tout ressaut se formant sur des pentes negatives on positives. Mots-des : ressaut hydraulique, canal en pente, pente inverse, longueur de rouleau, perte d'energie.

The classical hydraulic jump occurring in a horizontal rectangular channel (the [...]
