Hi,
I need to run a 2000cubic meter/hour capacity pump thats located on a barge moored at a quayside. The suction inlet is 30" and is located on the bottom of the barge which is at 7m draught. There is limited bottom clearance and there is sediment on the bottom that i want to avoid taking into the system. To make a decision if i can run this pump i need to know how far the streamlines of flow into the suction line will extend from the bottom of the barge to the sea bed. Any guidance or refeneces on where to start would be appreaciated.
