Applications of Hydraulic Jump:

 

Usually hydraulic jump reverses the flow of water. This phenomenon can be used to mix chemicals for water purification.

Hydraulic jump usually maintains the high water level on the down stream side. This high water level can be used for irrigation purposes.

Hydraulic jump can be used to remove the air from water supply and sewage lines to prevent the air locking.

It prevents the scouring action on the down stream side of the dam structure.
Effect of Hydraulic Jump

It is very common in the field of hydraulics to use hydraulic jump. It is used to perform different functions. Some of the effects of the hydraulic jump are as under:

Actually the hydraulic jump usually acts as the energy dissipator. It clears the surplus energy of water.

Due to the hydraulic jump, many noticeable able disturbances are created in the flowing water like eddies, reverse flow.

Usually when the hydraulic jump takes place, the considerable amount of air is trapped in the water. That air can be helpful in removing the wastes in the streams that are causing pollution.

Hydraulic jump also make the work of different hydraulic structures, effective like weirs, notches and flumes etc.
Calculation of hydraulic jump:

Height of hydraulic jump can be calculated by the formula:

Y2 - Y1

Where Y1 is depth of flow on the sub critical side, while Y2 is depth of flow after the hydraulic jump. It can be illustrated with the help of diagram.

We can say that Y1 is depth at the state of stable sub critical while on the other hand Y2 is the height of the flow after the hydraulic jump.Y1 can be calculated easily. While Y2 can be calculated by the formula:

Y1/2 + vY12/4 + 2Y1 x V12/g
