Abstract

This study manages the flow at the end of irrigation canals which supply the water from the agricultural open drains at high water demands for the irrigation process and controls the canal flow at low water demands. An intermediate regulator is utilized to control flow directions. Hence, the flow fluctuates and may frequently reverse Submerged hydraulic jumps have been created in a suddenly expanding stilling basin with symmetric double baffles that were investigated using both a theoretical and an experimental method in this research. The momentum and continuity formulas were used to calculate the submerged hydraulic jump depth ratio and relative energy loss theoretical equations. The flume used in the investigation was 16 m long, 65.5 cm deep, and 66 cm wide. Only one operational gate controls the flow via the regulator. The numerous changes in water directions require doubling the bed protection symmetrically. The impact of several variables, including the inlet Froude number, baffle locations, and baffle shapes, was examined. The average percentage discrepancy between theoretical and experimental findings for the depth ratio of a submerged hydraulic jump was 11.75%. From the experimental results, the square baffles (i.e., width equal to one-third of the stilling basin width at mid-distance between the double gates) provide the best jump length and energy dissipation results. Finally, these baffles increase the relative energy loss by 22% while decreasing the relative jump length by 15%.
