Abstract: Experiments have been carried out to measure the mean and fluctuating forces exerted on the slab beneath the free hydraulic jump. Slabs of various lengths and widths have been used at Froude numbers of the upstream flow ...

Abstract: Experiments have been carried out to determine the streamwise variations of the mean flow properties of the hydraulic jump formed in sloping channels. Measurements of velocities have been made with hot-film anemometer for ...

Abstract: An inflatable dam is a tube of flexible material inflated by water or air to impound water. The profile of the water inflated dam is obtained numerically. The relationships between the parameters that govern the shape of ...

Abstract: Measurements have been made of the rate of scour downstream of a rigid apron due to a jet of water issuing through a sluice opening. Experiments are carried out for various sand sizes, sluice openings, efflux velocities, ...
