  Anders Haaning's hydraulic jump page   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
A closer look at hydraulic jumps in the linear and radial cases, confirms Lord Rayleigh's criteria at least roughly, but also reveals that the structure of the flow is rather complicated.
The radial case is stationary and the origin of the jump has to be sought in the fact that the layer, because of the radial spread, becomes very thin and the shear forces correspondingly large, which leads to separation.
We describe experimental results on the circular hydraulic jump in a viscous fluid (ethylene-glycol mixed with water) in a setup, where the depth of the fluid far away from the jet is controlled.

 Hydraulic Jump as “Mixing Layer”   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In this investigation the character of the turbulence in the jump, and therefore of the air-entrainment mechanism, is controlled by the use of drag-reducing soluble additives.
The photographs presented in the paper show that the remaining air bubbles act as flow tracers and reveal a turbulent structure in the upper part of the jump very similar in appearance to that observed for a turbulent mixing layer in a wind tunnel using shadow refractography.

 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.

In the experiments the external height is controlled, and a series of transitions in the flow structure appears.
First the steepening of the jump causes a transition akin to the breaking of a wave, and subsequently a series of shapes appear, which break the azimuthal symmetry.

 Hydraulic Jump   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
For our 'standard' channel we have found that there is an M3 curve originating at a sluice gate (10+00) while a control section (for an M2 or M1 curve) occurs at a sill placed at the downstream brink (0+00).
A hydraulic jump must occur between these two places.
Similarly, from an energy analysis at the sill (0+05 to 0+00) determine the depth at 0+05 and carry out an M1 (or possibly a M2) upstream.
