INFLUENCE OF DESIGN FEATURES ON THE REGULATING CAPACITY OF INJECTION WATER OUTLETS
The high degree of deterioration of hydraulic structures of reclamation systems and a decrease in the efficiency of using reclaimed land required the adoption at the state level of a number of programs The high degree of deterioration of hydraulic structures of reclamation systems and a decrease in the efficiency of using reclaimed land required the adoption at the state level of a number of programs aimed at the development and modernization of the reclamation complex of Russia. Ensuring the water regime on irrigated lands requires the introduction of technological innovations that can ensure the regulation of the water supply of hydraulic structures without involving non-renewable energy sources with maximum savings in water resources. The injection flow controllers considered in the work are able to use the hydraulic energy of the flow and carry out the control process with feedback.With a decrease in water consumption downstream, the regulator changes its capacity, providing the circulation of excess incoming water at the end of the structure. The operation of water outlets is based on the injection process, in which the regulator is a kind of jet pump located under the structure blocking the channel or under the dam of a small pond. The energy of the flow passing through the pipe from the upper stream is used to inject excess water coming from the reverse wave current through the diverting channel. The results of theoretical studies, physical and numerical modeling of injection water outlets with various forms of execution of the flow part are presented. Particular attention is paid to the execution of the output section of the structure – the diffuser and the prismatic section in front of it – the mixing chamber. The values of the hydraulic resistance coefficients of pyramidal diffusers with a high degree of expansion were studied and obtained for the first time. To prevent flow failure, the diffusers are equipped with shortened separate walls. The processing of the experiment data is carried out in accordance with international standards. When numerically modeling the flow in the regulator, the data of the physical experiment are used as the initial and boundary conditions. There is given a comparison of the fl ow rate of the studied regulators, the values of the parameters necessary for performing the hydraulic calculation are determined.
