This thesis presents an experimental investigation of hydraulic jumps in open-channel flows, with a primary focus on the role of Froude number in influencing jump characteristics. The study aimed to enhance our understanding of hydraulic jumps, their energy dissipation, and practical implications for hydraulic engineering. Experimental data was collected through a carefully designed flume setup, systematically varying flow conditions to cover a wide range of Froude numbers. The experimental program was conducted on a 6 m long, 0.30 m wide, and 0.75 m deep rectangular flume. The analysis of hydraulic jumps was carried out by examining flow depth, velocity, and energy dissipation across the jump region. Results revealed distinct relationships between Froude number and jump characteristics, shedding light on the critical role of this dimensionless parameter in jump formation and stability. Furthermore, the thesis discusses practical implications for hydraulic structures and energy dissipation in various engineering applications. The findings of this research contribute to the field of open-channel hydraulics and provide valuable insights for hydraulic engineers and practitioners. Understanding the relationship between Froude number and hydraulic jumps is essential for designing efficient and stable hydraulic systems. This work underscores the importance of incorporating Froude number considerations into hydraulic engineering practices, ultimately leading to more effective and sustainable water management solutions.
