Air Vent Computations Morrow Point Dam Colorado River Storage Project
A computer program was written to determine the time-magnitude relationships of reduced pressures in the Morrow Point Dam inlet structure. The low pressures are formed during an emergency closure of the intake gates as water in the penstock drains through the turbine. The study was necessary to properly size the air vent system and to investigate the effect of various air vent dimensions on the reduced pressure. Consideration of design parameters, causes for air flow, and flow conditions within the air vent are discussed. The one-dimensional equations of gradually varying unsteady flow are given, and a computer program for their solution is presented in Fortran IV programming language. The program can be used for similar problems. (Author)
