I'm a contractor. My current job is replacing a hot tub built into a basement remodel thirty years ago. With no room to bring in a new hot tub I suggested a whirlpool bath, an idea the client accepted. The biggest problem was that the hot tub had no drain, water was pumped into the adjacent shower pan when it needed to be refreshed. To overcome this I built a platform with the drain running between it and the concrete floor, through the shower wall, over the top of the existing shower pan. I was worried about water velocity because of the 20" head pressure. The drain leaves the tub with 1.5" PVC into a trap then travels at a gentle slope, 1/2" in four feet. As it enters the wall it steps up to 2" then flows out of a 3" shower pan drain with grill that is acting in reverse, water coming out horizontally instead of entering vertically. The volume is very impressive as is the sound. It is dispersed enough that it does not splash excessively, I think the grill helps a lot. I was quite pleased. Here is what I did not expect. The flow from the 1.5" pipe overwhelms the 2" shower drain. Water depth in the pan gradually increases to about 3", near overflow. Then the most remarkable phenomenon and the reason I write. A tremendous whirlpool is created at the drain, 3" deep 2" diameter. No water goes down the center of the drain. By coincidence I am reading a book "The Science of Leonardo". He would have loved it. With the ceiling light of the shower shining through the turbulence the patterns are stable and clear. I will cut a rubber washer to insert under the "popup" to reduce the flow. I think that will do the trick. We'll see. Thanks for your excellent videos.

We also observe hydraulic jumps in atmospheric science. They often happen downstream of mountain rages when mountain waves break. Super critical flow trapped above an inversion layer can transition to sub critical and cause deep mixing of the boundary layer. This mixing transports high winds to the surface in addition to the turbulence being induced by the terrain. This can lead to intense downslope windstorms also called chinook or fohn winds. Where I work in Wyoming, we often see wave breaks and hydraulic jumps produce damaging wind gusts over 100 mph.

@trucid2 Wave speed is just the speed at which a longitudinal wave (such as sound) travels through a fluid. This speed is generally constant for a fluid. What changes is the speed at which the fluid itself is flowing. So if air were moving very quickly at a place and then coming to an abrupt halt, that place would have a hydraulic jump of air.

In the process of researching the failure of the Oroville dam's main spillway in 2017, I read up on the earlier 2009 failure of their River Valve Outlet System, which involved a hydraulic jump. Their RVOS pulls water from the lowest/coldest point of the reservoir where it flows through a tunnel to a point under the dam near the turbine outlets (head pressure at about 300psi), and then can be released through a cone valve into another long tunnel that is joined by water from the turbine outlets (the tailrace). RVOS is designed to maintain minimum flow in the river when the reservoir drops below the turbine inlets and to regulate temperature for fish in the river. Oroville's Hyatt power plant is a pumping power station so the turbine outlets are submerged in their own trailrace which can either flow out into the Thermalito Diversion Pool, or pull water back from it when the turbines run as pumps. The tailrace consists of two 35ft diameter, 2000ft long tunnels. One is fully submerged, the other half full and they're cross joined. RVOS cone valves output into the half full tunnel at *extremely* high pressures and flow rates. Normally it blasts the water onto an angled steel dispersion ring which absorbs the high velocity flow from the valves, to merge it more smoothly with the low velocity flow of the half filled tunnel. The ring had been damaged due to many years of use so earlier in 2009, they removed it.. (presumably with intent to replace). Then a few months later management thought it would be interesting to conduct a test to open the RVOS valve to 100% to see what effect it would have (1. they'd been told never to run it at 100% due to prior damage 2. design specs said RVOS was never to be operated without dispersion ring). The manually operated control (just a big wheel) for the RVOS cone valve sits in a chamber connected through a long person tunnel up into the inner turbine room, and that chamber is separated from the ring valve outlet by a fully sealed 20ft tall steel wall. That wall was designed to fail with 15ft of head pressure behind it in the unlikely event that the manual control valve failed and let water into that chamber. This wall failure would prevent water from backing up the person tunnel into the turbine room. So.. 5 people enter the control room, and start to open the RVOS valve up to 100%. At 85% all hell breaks loose. The valves release about 4-5K CFS of water at extremely high velocity into a half filled tunnel, and without the dispersion ring this accelerates the velocity of the water in the tunnel for a few hundred feet. During original design (including extensive small scale testing), they realized that even with the dispersion ring a hydraulic jump could form as high velocity flow meets low, that might reach up to the roof of the tunnel, which could cause a vacuum condition in the tunnel upstream of the jump. So they built in a vent in the roof several hundred feet down the tunnel connected by a large tube running back to another vent in the cone valves outlet chamber. Idea being that if the jump formed between the two vents sealing the tunnel it could still equalize the air pressure on either side of it. But without the dispersion ring in place, the jump moved much further down the tunnel than design called for, and blocked the lower vent. This caused a siphon pump effect back to the valve outlet chamber, eventually causing high enough vacuum that the steel wall designed to hold back 15ft of water, blew out into the tunnel almost taking the 5 people in that chamber with it. Doors further up the man tunnel also failed and debris was sucked down that tunnel pelting the people in the chamber now open to raging water and continuing vacuum. With hurricane force winds coming from the person tunnel through the chamber into the RVOS outlet someone managed to turn off the valve to stop the flow. One person was seriously injured. RVOS was repaired in 2014, and operated again that year when drought conditions dropped the reservoir below the turbine inlets.

That is quite interesting. We have several dams in a row where I live. 3 of them are sitting within about a kilometer of each other right next to the city center in a gorge. We've got some of the hardest and oldest rock on the planet underpinning those dams, so erosion isn't as much of a concern. The major concern around here is freezing and thawing cycle, especially with global warming. It used to be that once the temperature dropped under zero, it would remain there until spring, but nowadays, it's gotten quite common to have several thaw mid winter. The river flows north, which can lead to winter flooding downstream. They are run of the river dams, so they just don't have the capacity to hold back excess water. They've been upgraded theses last few years with better gates to let the overflow out.

Ooh you did the video finally. Maybe you'll do another What's that Infrastructure video soon? I would also love to see more geotechnical videos with models like the internal erosion, ground water flow, and reinforced soil videos.

You know it’s that time of the month when your girlfriends flow goes from subcritical to supercritical

Tampons are the ultimate hydraulic jump

Umm, wouldn't that just cause the flow to be a lot heavier? I think supercritical would not be too bad to deal with.

I like to have dangerous superficial knowledge! ;-) You explain things so well, that I think to understand complex things after 5 minute videos. Thanks a lot, you motivated to read books about fluid mechanics as a telecommunication engineer.

You are the best! Explanations as vivid as these should be mandatory in fluid dynamics classes.

What I find very interesting is how certain aspects of environmental regulations (buffers around ponds and streams) have discarded what is BEST for long term erosion control, safety, and ease of maintenance in exchange for some more “eco friendly” solution. For example, nowadays concrete flumes into ponds are not allowed in many jurisdictions.

"Fluid dynamics might sound as comlicated as rocket science..." Boy i wish it was. Rocket science is weak shit when compared to fluid dynamics. There's a reason why theres still a Millenium problem open on the Navier Stokes equation.

Of consequence to everyone with water flowing through their property. Designing hydraulic jumps into very modest summer streams that go crazy in the winter now made understandable and simple. :) That's what I call a gift to society, and I measure us all; including myself by that simple question, "what is your gift to society"... Thank you :)

Laminar flow all the way..... edit: omg... so many likes.. Thank you ... this is my most liked comment so far.... Heil Laminar Flowwwwww...
Excellent video! When I worked for an engineer we used Topographic Maps combined with HydroCAD and Auto CAD to design good drainage structures. cheers!
