Effect of Corrugated Bed on Hydraulic Jump Characteristic Using SPH Method

Abstract

AbstractA hydraulic jump is a common phenomenon that can be observed in open channel flows such as rivers and spillways. It can cause damage of the downstream bed and bank of the channel due to the process of continuous erosion and degradation. In order to reduce the hydraulic jump destruction, the energy in the hydraulic jump must be dissipated as much as possible. One method to increase dissipation of energy is using a corrugated bed. In order to know the effect of a corrugated bed on the hydraulic jump, a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) model is applied to investigate the characteristics of hydraulic jumps in various corrugated beds. A variety of corrugated beds that are smooth, triangular, trapezoidal, and sinusoidal are considered. The opening of a gate is changed to adjust the hydraulic jump. The conjugate depth ratio, the jump length, the bottom shear stress distribution, and the energy dissipation are reported. The results of the present study are in a good agreement with previous studies. E...
