Question

A dam releases water into a spillway, and then some distance downstream a hydraulic jump occurs. The dam height is 25 m, the initial depth in the spillway is 1 m, and the hydraulic jump leads to a region of depth 15 m. Upstream of the dam may be considered a reservoir. Determine the average velocity before the jump and whether the jump will occur. If there will be a jump, determine the velocity after the hydraulic jump, neglecting any friction losses.
