Abstract
The present experimental investigation focuses on energy dissipation and turbulence production in two undeveloped and a partially developed inflow weak hydraulic jumps, measured with micro-ADVs. For the undeveloped inflow jumps, the turbulence production is mostly confined in the shear layer located in the upper part of the water column. For the partially developed inflow jump, two peak turbulence production regions are observed, one in the upper shear layer and the second in the near-wall region. Moreover, the measured energy dissipation distribution in the jumps reveals a similar longitudinal decay of energy dissipation integrated over the flow sections and of maximum turbulence production values from the intermediate jump region toward its downstream section.
