Energy Dissipators and Hydraulic Jump
Series: Water Science and Technology Library, Vol. 8

Stilling basins utili z ing a hydraulic jump for energy dissipation are w i d e l y used in
hydraulic engineering . D a Vinci was the first to describe the hydraulic jump, and Bidone
conducted classical experiments about 170 years ago . Stilling basins w e r e developed in
the thirties with signif- cant design improvements being made during the last sixty years .
Although w e l l - a c c e p t e d guidelines for a successful design are presently available,
the information for the design of such dissipators is not yet compiled in book form . This
book provides state-of-the-art information on hydraulic jumps and associat ed stilling
basins . A large numbe r of papers on the to pics are reviewed. T h e present trends of the
art of designing a stilli ng basin are discussed and ideas for future research are outlined.
Design criteria and recommendat ions are frequently given . However, this should not
be considered as a r eady-to -use guideline since the design of an effective stilling basin
is much more comple x than following general design steps . The book is divided into
two parts. Part 1 on hydraulic jumps is c- prised of chapters 2 to 5. Part 2 consisting of
chapters 6 to 14 deals with various hydraulic structures used to dissipate energy. The
1992, XII, 290 p. lists of notation and references are provided in each part separately although the same
notation is u sed throughout.
