Default Hydraulic Jumps?

We tend to get both traditional wave and hydraulic jumps in northern Utah. We also get compression wave in areas where two ranges are close enough to cause interference. I would love to see models that predict some of the dynamic flying we see in the fall through spring. I have had 10 knots straight off a ridgeline to 18,000 feet and other unexpected lift areas.
