Study on Hydraulic Characteristics and Optimization of Siphon Channel with Two Inlets in Drydock

Article Preview

Abstract:

Compared with the siphon channel with one inlet, the siphon channel with two inlets has some problems such as low efficiency of flooding. Combining with the model test of siphon channel with two inlets in a drydock, three-dimensional numerical model was built to study the hydraulic characteristics of siphon channel system. The reliability of numerical model was confirmed by comparing the calculated value and measured value of hump pressure and flooding rate. Results of turbulent kinetic energy and dissipation rate indicate that flow kinetic energy is mainly dissipated by the friction and its impacting the wall behind partition and the effect of energy dissipation pillars are not obvious. By comparing flow state in front of energy dissipation section and flooding rate between design scheme and modified scheme, it is suggested that the guide wall should be dismantled to ameliorate flow state.
