| | Charles Bloom's : Hydraulic Jump |
 | | The Hydraulic Jump is an intriguing theoretical problem in fluid mechanics, partly because it is so well known, but still not well handled by theory (a paper by Tomas Bohr in April, 1997 offers a promising new approach, but this has not yet been fully explored). |
 | | This is a sort of survey of analytic models of the jump, with some new work on these models, and the unification of all the different models. |
 | | Bohr's newest work is examined in some new ways, and we find a prediction for the width of the jump, and the fact that separation and the jump are inherently tied : seeking the radius at which separation occurs may be best formula for finding the radius of the jump. |
