CALCULATIONS OF SHORT PIPELINES TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE FLOW STABILIZATION
Analyzing the existing dependences on the calculation of short pressure pipelines in turbulent mode, significant shortcomings of these recommendations were identified. A physical model of motion is proposed, which explains the processes occurring in the area of stabilization after local resistance and allows to establish the factors influencing its length.Experiments on pipes with different roughness and different pipeline fittings made it possible to analyze the change in kinematic characteristics in the area after resistance. Studies have shown that in short pipes, the length of which is less than the length of the stabilization section, there are less pressure losses than in the calculations by the usual method, when there are simply local and length losses. Dependencies and graphs are given that take into account the mutual influence of local resistances in the case of their location at a distance less than the stabilization area. The proposed recommendations make it possible to make more informed economic decisions when designing short pressure pipelines of various water supply systems.
