Abstract

A theoretical model for the velocity field and the surface profile of bores and hydraulic jumps is developed. The turbulence is assumed to be concentrated in a wedge that originates at the toe of the front and spreads towards the bottom, and the turbulent closure used is a simplified k-ε model allowing for non-equilibrium in the turbulent kinetic energy. The flow equations are satisfied in depth-integrated form (method of weighted residuals), and measured deviations from static pressure are analysed and shown to have a negligible effect on the results. Comparison with measurements shows good agreement, but there is a clear need for further experimental results in the highly turbulent region near the free surface. Some basic mechanisms of the flow are discussed and explained from the theory.
