Although the hydraulic jump is a subject largely studied in the literature, it still maintains a great interest among researchers, showing unsolved questions involving basic characteristics (geometrical and positioning characteristics, for example), which points to the necessity of more research in order to allow a better understanding on how these characteristics are established. The jum…
Stepped spillways are extensively used in Hydraulic engineering because they allow simplified projects for dam stability and reduction in the costs and in the size of energy dissipation basin. In the enviromental aspect, the spillways contribute for water quality in dam downstream because it interacts with dissolved oxigen rates. The main hydraulic purpose of steps are energy dissipation,…

Turbulence, while a phenomenon with erratic characteristics, has been quantified in a statistical way. A common approach in Statistical Fluid Mechanics is to operate on the variable in question and on the equations. This procedure leads, for nonlinear phenomena, to systems with more unknowns than equations. Despite this inconsistency, the statistical approach is then supplied with informa…
The flows in converging-diverging nozzles are commonly presented from the isentropic point of view, that is, there is no irreversibility provided by the energy dissipation in the flows. This way of studying the phenomenon leads to useful results and is didactically relevant to explain the main characteristics of this type of flow. However, fluid flows are highly dissipative, which makes i…
