Entrances to Conduits for Rectangular Cross Section. Report No. 1: Investigation of Entrance Flared in Four Directions
Abstract
Tests of conduit entrances reported herein were conducted with a view to developing an entrance shape that would not be damaged by cavitation and yet would be as small as possible in cross section. The effects of varying the conduit axis from normal to the face of the dam, and of varying the depth of approach channel with respect to the invert of the conduit were also investigated. Pressure measurements were made on a transparent plastic conduit, 0.283 ft wide by 0.500 ft high by 8.64 ft long, connected to a steel pressure headbay tank.
