In fluid dynamics, the conjugate depths refer to the depth (y1) upstream and the depth (y2) downstream of the hydraulic jump whose momentum fluxes are equal for a given discharge (volume flux) q. The depth upstream of a hydraulic jump is always supercritical.

Conjugate, or sequent, depths are the joined intensities that occur downstream and upstream of a hydraulic jump, with the upstream course being super critical and downstream movement being sub critical.
In the open-channel flow of square channels, the alternate depth equation associates the upstream( y1 ) and downstream( y2 ) steady-state flow intensities of a flow that confronts a command device, such as a sluice gate, which maintains energy for a presented discharge.
