Analytical And Experimental Study Of A Three Dimensional Internal Hydraulic Jump In A Shallow Channel Of Limited Width, Zoheb Nasir

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

The main objective of this thesis is to study the hydraulic behaviour of a surface heated discharge in a shallow channel, which is wider than the discharge of thermal waste, and connected to a colder water body. An internal hydraulic jump characterized by mixing (dilution) of hot and cold water was observed in the channel. Similar to the single-layer hydraulic jump, the internal hydraulic jump in a two-layer system is a rapid transition from supercritical to subcritical flow.

The study involved analytical and experimental analyses of the flow in the channel. The analytical analysis showed that the critical dilution initially …
