“…In addition to the classic or free hydraulic jump studies, the effects of a roughened bed below the jump were mainly investigated for man‐made baffle devices (e.g., baffle blocks, baffle rows, end sills) (Bradley & Peterka, 1957a, 1957b, 1957c, 1957d, 1957e, 1957f; Rehbock, 1929), uniformly distributed engineered roughness (e.g., corrugated bed, rippled bed, rubber mats) (Ead & Rajaratnam, 2002; Felder & Chanson, 2018; Izadjoo & Shafai‐Bejestan, 2007), as well as uniformly distributed natural rigid roughness elements like sand and gravel (Afzal et al., 2011; Carollo et al., 2007, 2012). The literature generally indicated decreasing conjugate depth ratio and shortened jump length with increasing equivalent roughness height k s .…”
