Designing intakes to avoid free-surface vortices.

John S Gulliver, A. J. Rindels, K. C. Lindblom

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Discussed are methods of designing closed channel intakes so that free surface vortices do not arise. These vortices present problems such as: reduction in flow, vibration, structural damage, surging, loss of efficiency in turbines or pumps. The example of the Rapidan hydro plant intake is given followed by the example of the Mayfield hydro plant. (R.I.H.)
