Hydraulic Jump
Laboratory Report for Sluice Gate and Hydraulic Jump
Introduction.
In this lab exercise we were supposed to analyse the Hydraulic jump through the Sluice gate, and to discuss about the energy displacement through that process.
Hydraulic jump is known as the change flow which changes from the supercritical flow to the sub-critical flow, this change occurs due to the loss turbulence in an open tunnel. In basic terms this happens when there is a sudden rise in the water levels, due to the change that takes places when the velocity deceases. In reality different types of hydraulics jumps are made to match the human needs.
The gate that controls the amount of water flowing through an open channel is known as the Sluice Gate. This gate system is used to avoid problems that occurs in open channels such as erosion of soil due to the high velocity flows. In modern day these gates are used in flooding areas in place of barriers, dams and in coastal areas in case of tidal wave flooding.
Apparatus.
Open channel,
Meter ruler,
Vernier calliper,
Sluice gate,
Slope adjuster,
Centrifugal pump,
Electro magnetic flow meter.
Procedure.
First the dimations of the Channel was measured using the meter ruler.
After this the motor was turned ON.
The flow of the water level was controled by the sluice gate which could be adjusted verticaly.
The flow of the channel at that ponit was meaured using the electro magnatic meter.
The horizontal measurnent of the strem was noted as well.
At four different points the depth of the water was meaured, which was at up stream plus the down stream of the channel, and at the start plus the end of the hydralic jump. All these measurements were taken using the vernier calliper.
All the above readings were taken when the vernier was set to zero.

Width of the channel = 150 mm Section
