Hydrodynamic loads on a water drain with cavitation quenchers

Abstract

Abstract The data on the hydrodynamic loads on the water body in the presence of cavitating energy without erosive dampers on it are presented. It is shown that these loads increase in comparison with the non-cavitation mode, but, despite this, the use without cavitation dampers in appropriate conditions is advisable, providing favorable downstream regimes and reducing the volume of construction work and the cost of construction. It is proved that for multiple types without erosive energy absorbers, data were obtained on the averaged and pulsating vertical and horizontal loads on the absorbers and the slaughter plate, which allows us to carry out the required calculations of the strength and stability of the elements of the downstream devices. As a result of cavitation and cavitation studies of erosion-free energy absorbers in cavitation stands, coefficients of any resistance C x of several types of aerosol-free absorbers were obtained; as well as pulsation standards measured by “point” sensors for the vertical hydrodynamic effects of the flow on the water culvert in the installation zone of an erosion-free damper.
