Assessment and Prediction of Air Entrainment and Geyser Formation in a Bottom Outlet: Field Observations and CFD Simulation
Air entrainment at the intake of a bottom outlet often gives rise to air pockets in its conduit and formation of geysers. The outlet in question comprises a bulkhead gate, gate shaft, horizontal conduit, and exit. Operations show that it suffers from appreciable flow fluctuations and blowouts in the...
