The down stream sloping glacis of the Hydraulic structure is made in such a way to form automatically the _____________ and dissipate the surplus energy of flowing water?

Correct answer: B. Hydraulic jump

  • A. Afflux
  • B. Hydraulic jump
  • C. Pond level
  • D. HFL

Explanation

The downstream glacis is shaped to create a hydraulic jump, which changes high-velocity flow into a deeper, slower flow and dissipates excess energy. Afflux is the rise in upstream water level, not an energy-dissipation structure.
