Resumen

In recent years, tapping the sea for potable water has gained prominence as a potential source of water. Since seawater intake systems are often used in the infrastructure industry, ensuring proper efficiency in different operating conditions is very important. In this paper, CFD modeling is used to show general hydraulic design (flow patterns, stream flow, vortex severities, and pre-swirl) principles and performance acceptability criteria for pump intakes in different conditions. The authors explore scenarios for avoiding or resolving hydraulic problems that have arisen as a result of hydraulic model studies. The results show that the designer should make every effort to avoid small entrance and filtration areas from the basin to the intake forebay bottom, which could result in jet outlet and/or supercritical flow; too small logs at the basin outflow, which could result in high velocity flow jets; and sudden area contractions at the forebay to pump bay junction. There should be enough submergence at the pumps to reduce harmful vortex severities and pre-swirl. Curtain walls, baffles, fillets, and splitters, as well as flow redistributors, can all aid in improving approach flow patterns. Reduced flow separations and eddies will be greatly assisted by rounding corners and providing guide walls. Using a numerical model to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it will help the facility?s costs and maintenance decrease in the long run.
