Abstract
This paper introduces the concept of a submerged hydraulic jump being used for energy dissipation. A baffle wall is used to produce a stable deflected surface jet, thereby deflecting the high-velocity supercritical stream away from the bed to the surface. Based on a series of experiments, a diagram was developed that predicts the conditions under which such a surface jet would be produced. A second series of experiments were performed to study the characteristics of the deflected jet, as it travels upward first as a curved turbulent jet to eventually become a turbulent surface jet. The decay of the maximum velocity in the deflected as well as the surface jet was studied and compared with that of a plane turbulent wall jet that is a model for deeply submerged jumps.
