Abstract: Sketched by Leonardo da Vinci, observed in nature, and utilized by engineers for a century, it might be thought that the hydraulic jump had yielded all its secrets some time ago. The history of its scientific study dates al least from the paper of Bidone (1820). One of the most complete investigations of the average jump profile and length was that of Bakhmeteff and Matzke (1936). Some years later Rouse et al. (1958) proposed their air model. Hoyt and Sellin (1989) proposed the mixing or shear layer model. In the present paper a new scenario of the turbulence of the hydraulic jump is also shown. Abstract: The paper presents a brief history of the jump of Bidone or hydraulic jump.
