5. 14. Experimental Investigation Of The Air-Water Flow Properties In The Cavity Zone Downstream A Chute Aerator

   University essay from

   Author : Ebba Wargsjö; Albin Hedehag Damberg; [2017]
   Keywords : Air bubble entrainment; chute aerators; aerators; air concentration; cavitation; cavitation damage; cavitation bubbles; bubble frequency; scale effects;

   Abstract : Chute aerators are widely used in spillways to avoid cavitation damage. When the water flow passes the aerator, two jets form – upper and lower jet. The purpose of this thesis has been to study the effects from the aerator by conducting experiments in a model with a flow depth large enough to ensure that the upper and lower jet remain separated.
