Title: The Hydraulic Jump in Terms of Dynamic Similarity
Abstract: Since Bidone's classical "Memoire", the first to describe the hydraulic jump, this fascinating and puzzling phenomenon has been the subject of repeated experimental investigation. Most of the work has dealt with what may be termed the "vertical" elements of the jump, such as the relation between the lower and upper stages, the height of the standing wave, etc. Scarcely any data are available, at least in systematic form, with regard to what may be termed the "longitudinal elements", such as the length of the jump, the profile of the surface of the roller, etc. The importance of such data is obvious. In designing stilling-basins at the toes of spillways, in laying out devices to prevent erosion below sluices, and in other similar cases, knowledge of the longitudinal elements is indispensable.
