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

“…Vortex drop shafts are special structures through which a nearly horizontal free-surface flow is forced to rotate and turn into a swirling flow across the vertical shaft. The existing design criteria do not allow to estimate specific design parameters, such as the maximum pressure force acting on the shaft wall, and some advance in modelling the swirling flow velocity field is still needed for supercritical approaching flows. …”
