A Guide to the Planning and Hydraulic Design of Jet Pump Remedial Sand Bypassing Systems.
Abstract
This report is intended as an aid to engineers studying alternative solutions to a coastal sand bypassing problem. Using this report, engineers already familiar with coastal processes and centrifugal pumping systems will be able to: (a) determine the feasibility of a jet pump remedial bypassing system at a given site, (b) develop initial layouts for such a system, and (c) perform the system basic hydraulic design. A set of considerations and guidelines relative to feasibility and initial layout are discussed in varying degrees of detail. Two step-by-step hydraulic design procedures are presented, one being an iterative type adaptable to computer solution, the other a graphical approach. Both procedures are keyed to a simple system with one jet pump and one booster pump. Additional considerations are given for systems using multiple jet and/or booster pumps. A companion report to be issued at a later date will describe techniques and equipment for building, operating, and monitoring a jet pump bypassing system. (Author)
