Recommendations for parameters calculation of pressureless channels with arbitrary cross section for rainwater disposal
Based on the analysis of geometric and hydraulic characteristics of pressureless water channels cross sections, recommendations for parameters calculation of these systems with an arbitrary shape of their cross section were elaborated in this article. Elements of hydraulic modeling and analogy were used in the preparation of the presented material. The considered pressureless channels are widely used in rainwater disposal systems designing and can also be used in the designing of other special water disposal networks. Well-known theoretical and empirical hydraulic dependences, relevant reference data, in particular, discharge and velocity characteristics, local resistance coefficients were used in this article. Necessary information on selection of water disposal wells is given. The proposed method of calculation the parameters of water disposal channels can be used in different fluid flow modes: both pressureless and pressure, steady and unsteady. It is recommended for use in the water disposal networks designing, regardless of the pipelines material.
