Description for Energy Dissipators and Hydraulic Jump
Hardback. Gives a review of the flow features in a hydraulic jump, and its technical applications as an energy dissipator. This book explains basic terms, describes effects of energy dissipation on various neighboring fields, and presents prototype experiences with hydraulic jump dissipators. Series: Water Science and Technology Library. Num Pages: 302 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TGMF2. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 19. Weight in Grams: 609.
Stilling basins utili z ing a hydraulic jump for energy dissipation are w i d e l y used in hydraulic engineering . D a Vinci was the first to describe the hydraulic jump, and Bidone conducted classical experiments about 170 years ago . Stilling basins w e r e developed in the thirties with signif- cant design improvements being made during the last sixty years .

Reviews for Energy Dissipators and Hydraulic Jump
'...the book clearly will be valuable to anyone involved in such design...it is of wider interest to fluid dynamicists as a guide to a substantial body of experimental work, and a reminder that for flows we are still a long way from reducing their study to analysis and computation.' Journal Fluid Mech. 247 (1993)
