1. INTRODUCTION
In stilling basin when supercritical flow changes to subcritical flow during hydraulic jump occurrence, air is
entrained and gets released in the form of air bubbles. Therefore, it is of considerable importance in many
practical problems to control high energy turbulent flow. Compared to prismatic channels non-prismatic
channels (suddenly expanding) with appurtenances not only modify the hydraulic jump characteristics but
also effect significantly the formation of symmetric flows downstream of the channel. Also, non-prismatic
channels are useful where there are design constraints to reduce basin length.
A significant work has been reported by Chanson (1996), Chanson and Montes (1998), Chanson (2000),
Ranga Raju et al. (1980), Pagliara and Chiavaccini (2006) on appurtenances and energy loss in the study
of hydraulic jump. Rajaratnam (1964) and Tyagi et al. (1978) have studied the effect of the force on baffle
blocks and sill in suddenly expanding channel. Rajaratnam and Subramanyam (1968), Negm et al. (2000)
and Negm (2000) proved that the sequent depth ratio is a function of approach Froude number and
expansion ratio only. There are some studies on hydraulic jump characteristics indicates that hydraulic
jump characteristics are dependent on Froude number only [Elevatorski (2008), Wu and Rajaratnam
(1996), Ranga Raju et al (1980), etc]. However, [Iwao et al. (2003) and Afzal and Bushra (2002)] have
shown that Reynolds number also has significant effect on the modification of hydraulic jump
characteristics.
Keeping above fact in view, the present study is oriented towards the development of data based
empirical models for different hydraulic jump characteristics for non-prismatic channel by introducing
Reynolds number Re1.

Negm (2000) proposed an expression for the relative length of jump/roller for 2 Fr1 8.5, 0.33 B1 0.83
and 2.4 B1/Y1 13.76 based on the experimental results of Rajaratnam and Subramanya (1968). Length
of roller and length of jump is correlated as Lj/Lr = 1.3.

Elevatorski (1959) defined the relative length of the jump Lj/Y2 as a function of Fr1 and stated that it
becomes constant at the value of Fr1 > 5, i.e.,

Ivanchenkov (1936) plotted Lj/hj against Fr1 using Bahkmeteffs experimental data and developed an

Empirical relation for Y2/Y1 by Herbrand (1973) for suddenly expanding channel is found valid for 3.1 < Fr1
< 9.0. Hager (1985) has given the empirical relation for sequent depth ratio and relative energy loss in
terms of approach Froude number and expansion ratio as in Eq (8).

Using Buckinhams -theorem and treating Y1, g and as repeating variables, the various dimensionless
groups are developed. Using linear fitting of the experimental data following empirical model for Y2/Y1,
E2/E1 and Lj/Y1 were developed and expressed below.
Dimensionless groups and hydraulic jump characteristics are the function of expansion ratio, approach
Froude number, incoming Reynolds number and position and dimension of baffle blocks & sill, which can
be represented as:
Y E L j B V 2 V Y x h h L L

(10)
The effect of surface roughness is ignored in the present work due to experimental limitations. From the
analysis of experimental results, it is observed that all the three hydraulic jump characteristics namely
Y2/Y1, E2/E1, Lj/Y1 in suddenly expanding channel are function of expanding ratio, approach Froude
number and Reynolds number. The empirical models developed for suddenly expanding channel are:

Lj/Y1: Figure 7 shows non-linear variation of relative length of jump (Lj/Y1) against approach Froude
number (Fr1) for different expansion ratios. For developing figure 8, linear model Eq. (16) were fit for the
present experimental data and the Bremen (1990) data for testing with R2 value of 0.99 and 0.99 having
B1/B2 = 0.2 and 0.5. In the same figure model Eq. (16) has also been shown for B1/B2 = 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6
with R2 value of 0.98, 0.98 and 0.99 respectively, which shows good fitting of experimental data in
developed model [Eq. (16)]. Figure 8 shows validation of Eq. (16) by fitting Hager (1985) data with R2
value 0.8, 0.97, 0.95 and 0.99 for B1/B2 = 0.2, 0.33, 0.5 and 1. However, R2 value for present model are
0.98, 0.98 and 0.99 for B1/B2 = 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 showing deviation from Hager (1985) result which may be
attributed to the different expansion ratios and Hager (1985) explained & presented the length of jump by
significant scattering of data in the range of 0.17 > B1/B2 > 0.83 and 2 < Fr1 < 9. From the two figures 7
and 8 it is clear that Bremen (1990) and Hager (1985) experimental data fitting well in the present linear
model with good R2 value 0.99 and 0.97. It is concluded that for the present condition Eq. (16) may be
used for approximate estimation of Lj/Y1.
6. CONCLUSION
Testing and validation of empirical models with R2 values presented above for suddenly expanding
channel with baffle blocks and sill shows the feasibility of these models under varying dimension, position,
number of baffle blocks and end sill. It is therefore, recommended that these models may be used for the
prediction of corresponding hydraulic jump characteristics with significant accuracy. It is also been
concluded that after applications of appurtenances in suddenly expanding channel the characteristics are
modified and found suitable for energy dissipation i.e., efficiency of jump increased.
