Transient drainage processes in storage reservoirs

Transient drainage processes are taken into consideration when deciding on the dimensions of storage reservoirs. The processes occur for example, in rainwater retention basins and storage lakes.

• transient drainage processes in storage reservoirs
• functioning of a surge chamber
• –rainwater retention basin– experiment: basins as short-term storage reservoirs, rectangular weir as gate
• –storage lakes– experiment: basins used as long-term storage reservoirs, rectangular weir as overfall weir
• –surge chamber– experiment: transparent pipe as surge chamber in drainage line
• gate in the drainage line for generating water hammer
• pressure sensors capture water level fluctuations
• representation of level variation with software
• software for data acquisition via USB under Windows 11
