Question

Which among the following is a parameter that does not account for a change of Internal hydraulic jump?

(a) Temperature

(b) Salinity

(c) Density

(d) Depth

I had been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

The query is from Types of Hydraulic Jumps topic in chapter Non Uniform Flow in Channels of Fluid Mechanics

Answer 1

Right choice is (d) Depth

Explanation: Depth is a parameter that does not play a role in the hydraulic jump. The internal hydraulic jump have association with temperature induced stratification, salinity and density differences due to suspended materials.
