Thanks Bimr. BigInch, although breaking the siphon too quickly does cause severe vibration, at high flow rates a significant amount of air is entrained and so with a controlled air feed at the apex slugging can be avoided. Having said that, the air water mixture could cause uneven loading on the...
Hello All,
I'm doing testing on a siphon turbine model and I'm trying to work out how to achieve automated priming and air flow regulation through a valve at the apex (highest point) of the siphon ductwork - specifically I'm after some advice on valve and pump arrangements (I'm afraid I'm...
