Description
Hydraulic Jump Problem description
In this project, hydraulic jump of water flow is analyzed by ANSYS Fluent software. The VOF approach is utilized in order to efficiently simulate the water flow inside ambient air. Hydraulic jump is of great importance in agricultural applications and open channel flows where water flow, after certain distance which can be solved for using analytical equation, undergoes significant decrease in velocity and increase in flow height. In the present work, water flow with two different mass flow inlets is analyzed, 50 and 80 kg/s. hydraulic jump occurs in 0.9 and 2.8 m downstream the flow for cases with water mass flow rate equal to 50 and 80 kg/s.

Dr. Virgil Boyle –
Can the simulation model the effects of different upstream flow conditions on the hydraulic jump?
MR CFD Support –
Yes, the simulation can be adjusted to model different upstream flow conditions, such as flow depth and velocity. This allows for a comprehensive analysis of the hydraulic jump under various operating conditions.
Llewellyn Harber –
Can the simulation model the effects of different channel slopes on the hydraulic jump?
MR CFD Support –
Yes, the geometry of the channel in the simulation can be easily modified to study the effects of different channel slopes on the hydraulic jump.
Katelyn Bergnaum –
How does the simulation handle the turbulence generated by the hydraulic jump?
MR CFD Support –
The simulation uses a turbulence model, such as the k-epsilon or k-omega model, to accurately capture the turbulence generated by the hydraulic jump. This ensures an accurate prediction of the flow behavior downstream of the jump.
Christopher Lang –
Can this simulation predict the location of the hydraulic jump?
MR CFD Support –
Yes, the simulation can predict the location of the hydraulic jump based on the upstream flow conditions. It provides detailed information about the water depth and velocity, which can be used to identify the location of the hydraulic jump.
