In this study, the circular hydraulic jump (CHJ) is investigated experimentally by using the setup constructed in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory. Also VOF numerical method based on Youngs’ algorithm is used to simulate the formation of the circular hydraulic jump. The results show that the numerical model is capable of simulating the jump formation and the numerical results are verified by the experimental observations. The both results indicate that enhancing the volumetric flow rate will increase the radius of the jump. Also, the agreement of both numerical and experimental results with the CHJ theory is satisfactory.
