Autoregulatory of water level with flexible working bodies for partition structures on channels
Аннотация
To improve the existing designs of hydraulic automatic gates with flexible working bodies for partition structures on channels, the object of the study was the development and study of an innovative design of an autoregulator of the water level with flexible working bodies. The study's main objective was to create a structure that provides automatic level control, discharge of excess water, washing of deposits in front of the partition, and determining its throughput. The developed design consists of a gate with flexible working bodies and a water level regulator combined with it. The article provides a theoretical formula for determining the flow rate of lateral water flows through the gate of the water level autoregulator. Experimental studies were carried out on an experimental installation by the method of physical modeling using the criterion of geometric similarity of the model and nature. As a result of these studies, simpler formulas were obtained for determining the flow rate of lateral water flows through the gate and a formula for determining the total flow rate of water passing through the gate of the water level autoregulator with flexible working bodies for use during operation.
