Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of swirl energy dissipation in water conservancy and hydropower engineering, and particularly relates to a swirl flood discharge tunnel inlet structure for improving water flow state. Background technique
[0002] To build a power station in the alpine and canyon areas, it is generally necessary to build several diversion tunnels. For the diversion tunnels with large investment, if they are only used during the construction of the dam, it is not economical. Therefore, the temporary building diversion tunnels are converted into permanent building flood discharge tunnels. It is a more economical solution, and the use of swirl energy dissipation technology is one of the important technologies for converting diversion tunnels into flood discharge tunnels.
[0003] The working principle of swirl energy dissipation is to use the rotating motion of water flow to consume most of the water energy inside the flow chan...
