How does a hydraulic jump destroy surplus energy?
How does a hydraulic jump destroy surplus energy? A hydraulic jump is a good way of ‘destroying’ surplus energy (in reality, converting kinetic energy to heat) and is often deliberately introduced for that purpose, such as at the foot of a dam spillway or downstream of a control gate. For hydraulic jump energy dissipators, it is extremely important to consider the following points: What is the role of positive pressure in hydraulic function? Other goals include assessing the role of positive pressure in hydraulic function, including rehydration of tissues, refilling of water stores in living cells and the apoplast, embolism...
