Abstract
The transition from partially full to full flow in downward sloping pipes often occurs with a hydraulic jump that entrains air bubbles downstream in a filled conduit that makes it difficult to define the boundary between the air entrainment and air transport behind the jump in circular conduits. With the aim of addressing this issue, an experimental investigation that included the measurement of air bubble velocities with a high speed camera at distances of 1, 5 and 10 diameters downstream of the jump was carried out. The analysis results showed that when the distance beyond the jump was less than 10 diameters, the velocity profiles were irregular and influenced by the eddying action of the jump; however, when it was greater than 10 diameters, the velocity distribution was very similar to that of a typical fully developed velocity profile in a circular conduit.The work concentrated on a mild downward slope S = 0.087 (theta = 5 degrees) and small Froude numbers ranged from 0.045 to 2.04.
