Abstract - The Short Wave Equations (SWE) is a system of
hyperbolic/parabolic Partial Differential Equations (PDE)
that governing fluid flow in the oceans, coastal regions,
estuaries, rivers and channels. In shallow water, flows there
would be a relatively smaller vertical flow compared to
horizontal one and in order to get rid of the vertical
parameter, we can average over the depth. The SWE can be
used to predict tides, storm surge levels and coastline
changes like hurricanes and ocean currents. SWE also arise
in atmospheric flows and debris flows. The SWE are derived
from the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe the motion
of fluids. The Navier-Stokes equations are themselves
derived from the equations for conservation of mass and
linear momentum.
Keywords: continuum mechanics, hydraulic jump,
Navier-Stokes, Hydraulics.
1. Introduction
Continuum mechanics is a branch of mechanics in
which we study and analyze the kinematics and
mechanical behavior of materials [1]. Continuum
mechanics are a continuous mass that deals with the
physical properties of solids and liquids. This technique
could be used in many fields such as simulation of
corrosion of additively manufactured parts [2], simulation
of precision finishing processes [3], vibration [4], heat
transfer [5], or fluid mechanics [6]. Physical properties are
independent of the coordinates they take place. In this
paper we will focus conservation equations on fluids and
the shallow water equations [7]. The shallow water
equations explains the behavior of a thin layer of fluid with
a constant density that has boundary conditions from
below by the bed of the flow and from above by a free
surface of water. There are so many different features
inside of these flows due to the fact that their behavior is
based on lots of conservation laws [7].
We consider this type of flow with a simple
vertical structure and we assume that fluid system is the
flow of a thin layer of water over terrain, which varies in
elevation. Friction is ignored and the flow velocity is
assumed to be uniform with elevation [7]. Besides, the
slope of terrain is assumed much less than unity, like the
slope of the fluid surface. These assumptions allow the
vertical pressure profile of the fluid to be determined by
the hydrostatic equation [8, 9]. Although the derived
shallow water equations are idealized, there are still some
common essential characteristics with more complex flows
such as Tsunami, deep in ocean or near shore. Near shore,
a more complicated model is required [8]. Fig. 1 illustrates
a schematic view of shallow water flow [1].

Hydraulic jump occurs whenever we have a flow
changes from supercritical to subcritical. In phenomenon
the water surface rises suddenly and we have surface
rollers while an intense mixing occurs and air is entrained
followed by a large amount of energy dissipation [10]. In
other words, a hydraulic jump happens when a
supercritical upstream meets by a subcritical downstream
flow [10]. There are also artificial hydraulic jumps, which
are created by devices like sluice gates. Totally, a hydraulic
jump can be used as an energy dissipater, chemical mixer
or to act as an aeration device [11].
Since we have unknown loss of energy in
hydraulic jumps, one should conservation of momentum to
derive jump equations [10]. To develop this equation, they
generally consider a situation with or without loss of
energy between upstream and downstream. Besides, that
situation may come with or without some obstacles which
may cause a drag force of Pf [11]. Fig.2 shows a schematic
hydraulic jump in a flow.
