< Surge due to Sudden Increase of Flow Calculators

Absolute Velocity of Surge Moving towards Right in Negative Surges

LaTeX Go Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet = Velocity of Fluid at 1+sqrt(([g]*Depth of Point 2*(Depth of Point 2+Depth of Point 1))/(2*Depth of Point 1))

Absolute Velocity of Surge Moving towards Right

LaTeX Go Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet = (Velocity of Fluid at 1*Depth of Point 1-Velocity of Fluid at 2*Depth of Point 2)/(Depth of Point 1-Depth of Point 2)

Depth of Flow given Absolute Velocity of Surge Moving towards Right with Depth

LaTeX Go Depth of Point 1 = ((Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet-Velocity of Fluid at 2)/(Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet-Velocity of Fluid at 1))*Depth of Point 2

Depth of Flow at Point given Absolute Velocity of Surge Moving towards Right

LaTeX Go Depth of Point 2 = Depth of Point 1/((Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet-Velocity of Fluid at 2)/(Absolute Velocity of Issuing Jet-Velocity of Fluid at 1))

Celerity of Wave given Two Depths Formula

LaTeX Go

Celerity of Wave = sqrt(([g]*Depth of Point 2*(Depth of Point 2+Depth of Point 1))/(2*Depth of Point 1))
C_w = sqrt(([g]*D₂*(D₂+h ₁))/(2*h ₁))

What is Celerity of the Wave?

The open channel Surges due to sudden changes of flow depth creates Celerity (Wave Velocity) in the flow in addition to the normal water velocity of the channels. These waves travel in the downstream and sometimes upstream of the channels depending on the various situations.

What is a Jet Flow?

A jet is the flow of a fluid that exits a nozzle into an ambient fluid of different velocity. The nozzle is used to increase the pressure which in turn will increase the velocity of the jet. If the surrounding ambient fluid is at rest then the jet is called a free jet.
