In this experimental study, the effect of suspended sediment concentration on the characteristics of a submerged hydraulic jump in a rectangular channel has been investigated, based on the sediment concentrations of 0.43%-16.15% and jet Froude numbers were in the range of 1.9-5. Two grain sizes, 0.15 and 0.03 mm (ρs=2.65 g/cm3) have been used in the experiments. Characteristics of the submerged hydraulic jump including the submergence depth at the gate, length of submerged hydraulic jump, energy dissipation, velocity, and concentration distribution have been studied in both smooth and rough beds. Results showed that the submergence depth at the gate and the energy dissipation were constant regardless of sediment concentration. However, in the presence of suspended sediment, the length of the submerged hydraulic jump is smaller than that of clear water flow. It was also found that suspended sediment increase flow resistance, as a result of decreased in the maximum flow velocity.
