Numerical study on a supercritical vortex drop shaft with a spiral inlet by Gaetano Crispino, Filomena Maietta, Michele Iervolino, Corrado Gisonni

“…The experimental program was designed to observe the hydraulic features of the swirling flow by changing the flow discharge in two structures of different vertical shaft diameter. It was shown that the flow behaviour inside the shaft varied significantly depending on the capacity Froude number, and it was far from being respectful of the axis-symmetry condition. …”
