Effect Of Surface

The steady, axisymmetric flow induced by a point sink (or source) submerged in an inviscid fluid of infinite depth is computed and the resulting deformation of the free surface is obtained. The effect of surface tension on the free surface is determined and is the new component of this work. The maximum Froude numbers at which steady solutions exist are computed. It is found that the determining factor in reaching the critical flow changes as more surface tension is included. If there is zero or a very small amount of surface tension, the limiting factor appears to be the formation of small wavelets on the free surface; but, as the surface tension increases, this is replaced by a tendency for the lowest point on the free surface to descend sharply as the Froude number is increased.

The purpose of the laboratory investigation reported here has been to study the conditions under which vortices appear in the free surface flow upstream of a vertically inverted intake in a circular sump. The influence of geometry, approach conditions, size, and relative position of the intake in the sump has been studied. The effect of viscosity, surface tension, and inertia forces on the formation of vortices has been examined. A discussion of the results and the principal conclusions drawn permit certain recommendations to be made at the conceptual stage of pumping pits.
