Hydraulic Jump Lab Questions.

1. What causes the hydraulic jump to occur in the horizontal channel and what factors determine the precise location of the jump?
2. Present and discuss reasons for agreement, or lack thereof, between the theoretical results and those obtained experimentally. (Basically discuss/ give reasons for why the theoretical value does not agree with the experimental values?)( Hint given: Based on formula)
3. From your observations of the hydraulic jump for a range of Froude numbers, particularly the downstream profile, compare your observations of the flows with those described above by Round and Garg (1986).
4. Is the mechanical energy E greater before or after the jump? Is the total energy (including all forms) conserved in a hydraulic jump? If so, what happens to the lost mechanical energy?
