Objective of Sump Model Studies
It is always difficult to predict correctly from
theoretically aspects, the actual flow condition
in the prototype sump model where the flow condition
are complex as may normally observed in many sumps.
it is advisable to construct a geometrically similar
sump model of suitable scale based on fraud number
similarity. During sump model studies the nature
of flow pattern and likely problem Viz. Vortex
formation, air entrainment, swirl beyond acceptable
limits, submerged vortex etc. in prototype sump
are revealed right in advance (i.e. before the
actual construction of sump model is completed).
The suitability of proposed prototype sump dimension
is thus ascertained under various operating condition
i. e. minimum water level & maximum water
level with different combination of sump. Necessary
modification in are study and suggestion to arrive
at optimum configuration for satisfactory performance
of sump.
