Air entrainment in a vertical dropshaft with limited air supply
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2018 Dropshafts are vertical structures widely used in urban drainage systems and buildings for water transportation. In this paper, a physical model study was conducted to investigate the air entrainment in the dropshaft under various flow regimes with and ...

Numerical modelling of air entrainment: In hydraulic engineering [PDF]
, 2021 Air entrainment in water flows is a natural phenomenon prone to take place when energy is dissipated in flowing water. In nature, air entrainment appears as white water in waterfalls or in waves breaking on the beach.

On air-entraining flow in pump's sump with a vertical suction pipe below critical submergence
Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2019 In pump’s sumps, the air entrainment sometimes occurs. Such flow accompanying the air entrainment becomes complicated owing to both of its unsteadiness with poor periodicity and its fully-three-dimensionality.

Two-phase numerical study of the flow field formed in water pump sump: influence of air entrainment [PDF]
, 2009 In a pump sump it is imperative that the amount of non-homogenous flow and entrained air be kept to a minimum. Free air-core vortex occurring at a water-intake pipe is an important problem encountered in hydraulic engineering.
