Stilling basins utili z ing a hydraulic jump for energy dissipation
are w i d e l y used in hydraulic engineering . D a Vinci was the
first to describe the hydraulic jump, and Bidone conducted
classical experiments about 170 years ago . Stilling basins w e r e
developed in the thirties with signif- cant design improvements
being made during the last sixty years . Although w e l l - a c c e
p t e d guidelines for a successful design are presently available,
the information for the design of such dissipators is not yet
compiled in book form . This book provides state-of-the-art
information on hydraulic jumps and associat ed stilling basins . A
large numbe r of papers on the to pics are reviewed. T h e present
trends of the art of designing a stilli ng basin are discussed and
ideas for future research are outlined. Design criteria and
recommendat ions are frequently given . However, this should not be
considered as a r eady-to -use guideline since the design of an
effective stilling basin is much more comple x than following
general design steps . The book is divided into two parts. Part 1
on hydraulic jumps is c- prised of chapters 2 to 5. Part 2
consisting of chapters 6 to 14 deals with various hydraulic
structures used to dissipate energy. The lists of notation and
references are provided in each part separately although the same
notation is u sed throughout.
