Hello All,
I am trying to model flow of water, in a multiple intake pump bay. The Intake bay is rectangular shaped which has 4 pumps on one side for flow intake and 1 pump on another side. The Mass flow rate of each pumps are known, however the suction pressure is an unknown parameter. I have proceeded by giving Opening Boundary condition with total pressure and direction at Inlet. Zero gradient mass momentum option is given. The bay takes in water from the sea/river which is located nearby and it is directly connected to it via a open channel. The outlet boundary condition specified are individual mass flow rates at each pump station. The a photo is attached showing the water intake bay and the boundary condition given at inlet. Can someone tell me whether the given boundary conditions are correct. As I get the velocity of flow at my inlet in the range of 900-1000 m/s. Thanks in Advance |
