Estudio Experimental en Modelo Físico para la Optimización de la Geometría del Tabique Bifurcador de Flujo con Régimen de Aproximación Supercrítico

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis about the geometry of three splitter partitions of caudal with approximate supercritical regime, the geometry of the first two structures were given by the EPMAPS, and are part of the experimental study on the physical model about rapid flows with staggered smooth profile in El Batan’s Cliff. And about the las structure geometry, it was developed on basis in the results given with the study development, the physical model was made on 1:15 scale

The physics models of the three splitter structures of caudal with supercritical flow, reproduce the behavior of the tridimensional flux that allows the separation of caudal with supercritical regime approximation on open canals. The theoretical principles used for reproduce the physical modeling and the analysis and results interpretation of experimental results, were obtained modifications and design parameters. The experimental research was made on three phases: (i) construction and calibration of the physical models, (ii) analysis of the hydraulic function of the original designs and (iii) geometry optimization to guarantee an adequate functionality of the flux splitter structures with approximate supercritical flow. On this study is presented the relation of longitudinal dimensions of geometry design of the flow splitter partitions with supercritical regime, besides a comparative of results between geometries to ratify the adopted design.
