Modeling of Perforated Sill-Controlled Hydraulic Jump

Stilling basins and hydraulic jumps are designers’ favorable choice for energy dissipation downstream of spillways and outlets. a properly designed stilling basin can ensure considerable energy dissipation in the short distance of a basin. in this study,experiments have been conducted to evaluate effects of a perforated sill and its position on the length of a favorable b-type hydraulic jump in a stilling basin. perforated sills with different heights and ratio of openings were placed in different positions of the stilling basin. tests were carried out for three tail water depths to assess the sensitivity of the jump to tail water. the hydraulic characteristics of the jump were measured and compared with continuous sill-controlled and free hydraulic jumps. results of the experiments confirmed significant effect of the perforated sill on dissipation of energy and development of the jump in a shorter distance. results are also presented in the form of mathematical models for estimation of the sill height,sill position,and basin length with the inflow measurable parameters of depth and velocity. © 2017,iran university of science and technology.
