Design criteria for a type of asymmetric orifice in a surge tank using CFD

An asymmetric orifice can be added to a surge tank of a hydro power plant to dampen the mass oscillation. This allows a reduction of the required volume and a more stable behavior of the overall hydraulic system. In this paper, the advantage of a typical asymmetric orifice is shown in comparison wit...
