Energy dissipation in hydraulic systems

Introduction The transition from a rapid super-critical flow to a slow sub-critical flow is characterised by a strong dissipative mechanism: Hydraulic Jump. If properly designed and implemented, this phenomenon can result in substantial energy dissipation, limiting the damage to hydraulic structures through cavitation and abrasion. Hydraulic Jumps are the most common mechanism deployed by engineers … Read more
