Abstract: The hydraulic jump in the triangular channel is analysed using an elementary approach. The results regarding the sequent depth ratio are confirmed by model observations. Furthermore, the length characteristics, the surface profiles and typical velocity distributions are discussed. Finally, these results are compared with the hydraulic jump in the rectangular channel, and interesting conclusions end the paper.
