The discussion of a previous paper on the hydraulic jump in sloped channels (1) made it evident that the existing literature carried no clear exposition of the subject, and moreover that no systematic experimental evidence was available which would permit an engineer to draw practical conclusions regarding the matter. The research described in this paper is an attempt to clarify this situation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
