Hydrodynamic features of the floating water outlet from a pumping station

The article considers issues of ensuring sustainable agricultural production by increasing reliability of an irrigation system and water security. The article describes results of hydraulic tests performed at the water outlet with a vertical movement valve member. Resistance coefficients and hydrodynamic effects at the water outlet were determined experimentally. The study developed a method for calculating hydromechanical transient processes in the water outlet at the stop and start of the pump. The paper substantiates the new construction of a water outlet facility with a vertical displacement of the breakdown valve. Such a design better corresponds to peculiarities of the operation of pumping stations and, if there are water pipes of considerable diameter, it has a positive effect on transition hydrodynamic processes by reducing the number of failures and downtime by up to 10%.
