Abstract The tree radial hydraulic jump phenomenon is investigated on rough and smooth channel beds under different flow conditions and different roughness intensities. The tree surface, bed pressure, initial depth, sequent depth, jump length, roller length and velocity distributions were measured. The study also includes observations of the entrained air. Statistical methods were used to analyze the experimental data and to generate the necessary characteristic design charts for the free radial hydraulic jump formed on different bed roughness intensities. A macroscopic momentum balance is applied to the hydraulic jump control volume to derive the general equation for the free radial hydraulic jump on rough beds. The energy equation is used to obtain the jump energy loss. The dimensional analysis approach is applied to develop the relations between the variables involved in the formation of the tree radial hydraulic jump on rough beds. The theoretical results are compared with the experimental data obtained from the present study for the free radial hydraulic jump formed on different bed roughness intensities. The theory shows good agreement with the experimental data. The study concluded that, the largest energy loss and the shortest length of the radial hydraulic jump on a rough bed occurs with relative intensity |
