An experimental and numerical study of the circular hydraulic jump

Arnab Kumar Mallik, Hrvoje Jasak, D. Ian Wilson +2

This paper describes experiments and numerical simulations on the normal impact of a round liquid jet onto a horizontal surface, such as when water from a tap hits the bottom of a…

The influence of surface tension in thin-film hydrodynamics: gravity free planar hydraulic jumps

Rajesh Kumar Bhagat

Hydraulic jumps in thin films are traditionally explained through gravity-driven shallow-water theory, with surface tension assumed to play only a secondary role via Laplace pressu…

Experimental evidence for surface tension origin of the circular hydraulic jump

Rajesh K. Bhagat, D. Ian Wilson, P. F. Linden

For more than a century, the consensus has been that the thin-film hydraulic jump that can be seen in kitchen sinks is created by gravity. However, we recently reported that these…

The ventilation of buildings and other mitigating measures for COVID-19: a focus on winter 2020

RAMP Task 7 Members

This report reviews knowledge of the tranmission of COVID-19 indoors, reviews mitigating measures, and considers the implications for winter 2020.

The circular capillary jump

Rajesh Kumar Bhagat, Paul F. Linden

In this paper we re-examine the flow produced by the normal impact of a laminar liquid jet onto an infinite plane when the flow is dominated by surface tension. It is observed expe…

On the origin of the hydraulic jump in a thin liquid film

R. K. Bhagat, N. K. Jha, P. F. Linden +1

For more than a century, it has been believed that all hydraulic jumps are created due to gravity. However, we found that thin-film hydraulic jumps are not induced by gravity. This…
