Reattached Turbulent Submerged Offset Jets on Rough Beds with Shallow Tailwater
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 137, Issue 12
Abstract
This study investigates the characteristics of reattached plane turbulent offset jets in channels with rough beds and shallow tailwater depths. The flow consists of a deflecting free jet caused by the Coanda effect and the evolving wall jet past reattachment. In limited tailwater conditions, the jet flow is affected by the relative tailwater depth or the submergence parameter, which is defined with respect to the maximum B-jump at a negative step. The results show that for an offset height larger than the jet thickness, the forward-flow momentum, local maximum velocity, and wall shear stress decrease faster in the longitudinal direction in the offset jet than in plane turbulent wall jets. The influence of roughness on reattached offset jets appears to be less than that in submerged wall jets on a similar rough bed. The presented results and the comparative analysis with respect to wall jets in hydraulic jumps are significant for controlling and implementing similar flows on rough beds with variable downstream water levels.
