Hydraulic Modeling of Dispersed Flow

Abstract

This study focuses on evaluating the operational conditions of supply channels within irrigation system pumping stations, with a particular emphasis on those associated with the Karshi main canal. The primary objective is to devise new approaches to optimize the functioning of key components in order to achieve energy-efficient operations. Through the integration of innovative elements into irrigation systems during refurbishment, the study aims to diminish hydraulic losses per unit power of pumping units, resulting in additional energy savings and reduced technological costs. The significance of the research findings lies in the development of an original expression of the Stokes criterion, which aids in characterizing the behavior of multiphase water flows interacting with clay sediment particles on solid surfaces, such as those present in coastal protection structures. A hydraulic model has been devised to illustrate the dynamics of dispersed water flow interacting with solid surfaces, thereby providing valuable insights into the intricate processes involved..
