Analysis of The Hydraulic Jump On A Liquid Surface
In spite of the apparent complexity of the flow transition, application of simple analytic tools to a two dimensional analysis are effective in providing analytic results which closely parallel both field and laboratory results. Analysis shows:
- Height of the jump: the relationship between the depths before and after the jump as a function of flow rate
- Energy loss in the jump
- Location of the jump on a natural or an engineered structure
- Character of the jump: undular or abrupt

Famous quotes containing the words analysis, jump, liquid and/or surface:
“The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“A baby is a full time job for three adults. Nobody tells you that when you’re pregnant, or you’d probably jump off a bridge. Nobody tells you how all-consuming it is to be a mother—how reading goes out the window and thinking too.”
—Erica Jong (20th century)
“Telephone poles were matchsticks, put there to be snapped off at a whim. Dogs trotting across the road were suddenly big trucks. Old ladies turned into moving—vans. Everything was too bright, but very funny and made for my delight. And about half a mile from my long liquid breakfast I turned carefully down a side street and parked, and sat beaming happily through the tannic fog for about an hour, remembering how witty we all had been, how handsome and talented ...

“The surface of the ground in the Maine woods is everywhere spongy and saturated with moisture.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
