Abstract

The study presents a generalized “shallow flow” analysis of natural planar hydraulic jump in power-law liquids. It is based on self-similar velocity profile defined as function of flow behavior index, n, and shows significant improvement over the previous analysis which assumed a quadratic velocity profile and failed for n < 0.5. Thus, the study enables a deeper understanding of the influence of n for shear thinning vis-a-vis shear thickening liquids and emphasizes that the power-law description is adequate for highly shear thinning liquids if the flow parameters are valid over the range of interest.
