Simulation of the Operation of a Borehole Groundwater Intake with an Annular Prefabricated Conduit by V. V. Veremenyuk, V. V. Ivashechkin, V. I. Krytskaya

“…The absence of algorithms for calculating the ring prefabricated conduit with non-fixed flow rates at the well connection points complicates the hydraulic calculation, and, hence, finding the optimal water intake option. The article presents an algorithm for the hydraulic calculation of a water intake with a single-ring prefabricated conduit, which is based on the equation for the equality of pressure losses when water moves from the point of separation of two flows to the prefabricated unit along various paths and the continuity equation. …”
