| Hump stilling basin | Mechanical Engineering | When the center line of a jet emerging from an outlet is below the stream bed elevation, but not too far to be completely submerged by the tail water, a hump in the stilling basin floor may be provided to spread the jet and permit the formation of a stable hydraulic jump. The stilling basin in this case is called "hump stilling basin", or " hump basin" Source: European Union. (references) | |
