Analysis and Optimization of Basic Geometric Parameters of Annular Slot Seal Made in the Form of Hydrodiode

Аннотация

This article is the second stage of the research on annular slot hydrodiode. Computational experiments were conducted to establish the correlation between the response functions of the hydrodiode and a number of geometric and hydraulic factors. The results are presented in the form of regression equations, which are used to optimize the geometry of the hydrodiode flow section with a view to minimizing the ratio of the rates of liquid flow through the hydrodiode in forward and reverse directions. The physical phenomena accompanying the hydrodiode operation are analyzed in detail.
