The present study develops the ground work for modular prediction of free-surface jet arrays. Jet arrays generate one of the highest single-phase heat transfer rates, while covering reasonably large areas with good thermal uniformity, relevant to electronics cooling. However, due to liquid evacuation problems, free-jet arrays suffer from flooding, cross-flow and jet interaction, together with the large amount of influencing geometrical parameters, this makes them very difficult to predict. For the modular prediction approach to be applied, key issues are here addressed: experiments were conducted employing de-ionized water in both single and basic multiple-jet array (2×2, with local liquid extraction in the jet interaction zones) configurations. Modular conditions, wherein all jets are similar to each other, were created experimentally in a consistent fashion, by use of liquid extraction in the jet-interaction zones. Based on present and previous experimental data the influencing parameters on the pre-jump depth were identified. This description was then used to predict the location of the hydraulic jump (as dependant on the measured post-jump depth). The model combines elements of two previous approaches the shallow-water vs. jump conservation model, and obtains good agreement with available data. In addition conditions were shown for maximizing the distance at which the hydraulic jump occurs — to the point that the supercritical flows of adjacent jets touch (standing fountain type jump). This not only permits prediction of the supercritical flow heat transfer distribution over almost the entire array area, but also reduces the low heat transfer post-jump regions to a minimum. Finally, a more universal single-jet heat transfer model was developed incorporating inherent self-similarities recently identified by the authors and considering all relevant parameters: jet velocity profiles, nozzle-plate spacing, and inclination relative to gravity, to predict stagnation heat transfer as well as its radial decay. It is further identified that the influence of inclination is also of vital importance to free-surface jets (breakage of symmetry) and must be examined in future studies. By addressing these three key issues the foundation for a modular prediction of heat transfer under a free jet array is laid.

Numerically computed flow fields and free surface height distributions are presented for the flow of a thin layer of liquid adjacent to a solid horizontal surface that encounters a hydraulic jump. Two kinds of flow configurations are considered: two-dimensional plane flow and axisymmetric radial flow. The computations used a boundary-fitted moving grid method with a k-ε model for the closure of turbulence. The free surface height was determined by an optimization procedure which minimized the error in the pressure distribution on the free surface. It was also checked against an approximate procedure involving integration of the governing equations and use of the MacCormack predictor-corrector method. The computed film height also compared reasonably well with previous experiments. A region of recirculating flow as found to be present adjacent to the solid boundary near the location of the jump, which was caused by a rapid deceleration of the flow.

The similarity solutions are presented for the wall flow which is formed when a smooth planar jet of power-law fluids impinges vertically on to a horizontal plate, and spreads out in a thin layer bounded by a hydraulic jump. This problem is formulated analogous to radial jet flow problem and the solution procedure is accounted for by means of similarity solution of the boundary-layer equation [1] for Newtonian fluids. For the convenience of analysis, the flow may be divided into three regions, namely a developing boundary-layer region, a fully viscous boundary-layer region, and a hydraulic jump region. The similarity solutions of the film thickness and free surface velocity in fully viscous boundary-layer region include unknown constant L, which is solved numerically and approximately in the developing boundary-layer flow region. Comparison between the numerical and approximate solutions leads generally to good agreement, except for severely shear-thinning fluids. The boundary-layer solution depends on two parameters: power-law index n and α, the dimensionless flow parameters. The effect of α on film thickness and free surface velocity is investigated. The relations between the position of the hydraulic jump and dimensionless flow parameter are obtained and the effect of α on the position of the jump is presented.

The study of the hydraulic jump developed in stilling basins is complex to a high degree due to the intense velocity and pressure fluctuations and the significant air entrainment. It is this complexity, bound to the practical interest in stilling basins for energy dissipation purposes, which brings the importance of physical modeling into the spotlight. However, despite the importance of stilling basins in engineering, bibliographic studies have traditionally focused on the classical hydraulic jump. Therefore, the objective of this research was to study the characteristics of the hydraulic jump in a typified USBR II stilling basin, through a physical model. The free surface profile and the velocity distribution of the hydraulic jump developed within this structure were analyzed in the model. To this end, an experimental campaign was carried out, assessing the performance of both, innovative techniques such as the time-of-flight camera and traditional instrumentation like the Pitot tube. The results showed a satisfactory representation of the free surface profile and the velocity distribution, despite some discussed limitations. Furthermore, the instrumentation employed revealed the important influence of the energy dissipation devices on the flow properties. In particular, relevant differences were found for the hydraulic jump shape and the maximum velocity positions within the measured vertical profiles, when compared to classical hydraulic jumps.

Based on a large number of experiments, a simple formula is developed for the time-averaged free surface profile of a classical hydraulic jump. This novel approach is based on the length of the roller. The resulting surface profile fits the data well for usual inflow Froude numbers in the range of 2 to 10. Key words: backwater, channel flow, hydraulics, open channel, surface profile.
