Abstract
A standard two-dimensional k-ε turbulence model is used to predict the mean flow and turbulence characteristics of submerged hydraulic jumps. An offset control volume method is developed to facilitate computation of the variable free surface. The numerical predictions are compared with experimental measurements under three conditions with supercritical Froude numbers ranging from 3.2 to 8.2 and submergence factors ranging from 0.24 to 0.85. Finally the numerical performance is evaluated and discussed in detail. It is concluded that the model is adequate for predicting the surface profile, mean velocity field and to some extent, the turbulence structure of submerged hydraulic jumps.Keywords
