Hydraulic Transients in the Long Diversion-Type Hydropower Station with a Complex Differential Surge Tank

Based on the theory of hydraulic transients and the method of characteristics (MOC), a mathematic model of the differential surge tank with pressure-reduction orifices (PROs) and overflow weirs for transient calculation is proposed. The numerical model of hydraulic transients is established using th...
