The water flow circulation pipelines are completely symmetrically distributed, which can not only increase the flow rate of the circulating water tank, but also effectively solve the problem of inconsistent water flow velocities between the inner and outer diameters of large-scale circulating water tanks, making the water flow in the entire circulation process more stable and easier to achieve precise regulation of the water flow in the test section.
[0004] The objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0005] A simulated experimental circulating water tank includes a test section, a drainage pipeline and a water pump, characterized in that the water inlet end of the test section is connected to the water outlet end of a rectifying and contracting pipeline, the water outlet end of the test section is connected to the water inlet end of an expanding pipeline, there are at least two drainage pipelines, and each of the drainage pipelines is symmetrically arranged around the test section, each drainage pipeline is provided with a water pump, the water outlet end of the drainage pipeline is connected to the water inlet end of the rectifying and contracting pipeline, and the water inlet end of the drainage pipeline is connected to the water outlet end of the expanding pipeline.

[0011] Further improvement to the above technical solution: the test section is made of tempered glass, and the drainage pipeline, rectification and contraction pipeline and expansion pipeline are all made of stainless steel pipes.
[0012] The advantages and positive effects of the present invention compared with the prior art are:
[0013] 1. The test section of the simulated experimental circulating water tank of the present invention is located in the middle position. The drainage pipeline can be divided into a single-layer, double-layer or multi-layer symmetrical arrangement or multiple pairs of drainage pipelines can be symmetrically arranged around the test section according to the test water flow rate and water flow velocity requirements, and a water pump is arranged on each drainage pipeline. By increasing the number of water pumps by adding water flow pipelines, the water flow rate and water flow rate are significantly improved compared to a single-pipeline circulating water tank. The cross-section of a pipeline is smaller and all pipelines are evenly and symmetrically arranged around the test section, which can effectively solve the problem of inconsistent water flow velocities between the inner and outer diameters of large-scale circulating water tanks, making the water flow more stable during the entire circulation process;
