Title Cavitation and Head Loss Characteristics in Non-symmetric Bifurcations
Creator Daniels, Steven Johnson, Michael C. Spall, Robert E.
Description Nonsymmetric bifurcations, commonly used in piping systems to divert flow from one pipe to another, see considerable use in hydroelectric power applications and low-level outlet works at dams. Under normal operation, cavitation at the bifurcation likely is not an issue; however, during emergency releases for dam safety or other extreme flows, the bifurcation must be able to safely pass the required flows without incurring damage attributable to cavitation. Although nonsymmetric bifurcations...
