  • Publication number: 20230383489
    Abstract: A layout method of large-flux algae control wells based on a sluice-pump hub area includes: defining positions of a sluice-pump hub and a river diversion channel as a sluice-pump hub area, arranging at least two sets of pumping station units at the water outlet end of the river diversion channel, using a water flow model to guide streamline and flow velocity distribution of water flow in the river diversion channel, and determining whether it is necessary to adopt rectification measures based on water flow streamline and flow velocity distribution; and obtaining hydraulic characteristic values of the pumping station units, determining whether the currently arranged algae control wells and the adopted rectifying measures simultaneously meet the algae control requirements and subsequent running requirements of the pumping station units based on the hydraulic characteristic values.
