VORTEX FORMATION AT INTAKE STRUCTURE

Abstract

Mode. studies have been performed to study the formation of vortices at intake structure when it located symmetrically or uns a ric . The series have been performed with di fe re n t sizes of outlets and r ith different sizes of the tic. It La found that for syU4etrical `low case the results agree withGordon's work while tor unsymmetrical case Gordon. results under predict th value of sub nergonc . Two expression have been de - iope to compute the value of submergence for above Mentioned two cases. in the symmetrical case relative submergence M i Is found to be a function of Frame d er areas for wisymietrical -case S/d- is a . d function øf end L/ .
