Investigation of Energy Losses Induced by Non-Uniform Inflow in a Coastal Axial-Flow Pump

A non-uniform velocity profile occurs at the inlet of a coastal axial-flow pump which is placed downstream of the forebay with side-intake. As a result, the actual efficiency and head of the pump is dissimilar to the design parameters, and the lack of the theoretical investigation on the relationshi...
