Hydraulic jump in aerated flows

One of the issues posed by the transport of water inside closed conduits to underground storage caverns is the effects of the hydraulic jump on the inner surface of these pipes. In particular, hydraulic jumps occurring within the pipes may experience closed conduit conditions within the pipes, which...
