Abstract
A three water-intake structure designed to built along the right bank of the Missouri River near Chesterfield, Missouri was model-tested at an undistorted scale of 1:5. Although the discharge capacity of each of six pumps to be installed is only 21,000 gpm, the model indicated strong flow circuation and unstable free-surface conditions as flow entered the two-pump bay through a narrow sluice opening at an angle. Strong free-surface vartices were also observed in the model. The sump modifications developed in the study included an array of baffle bars, a perforated plate, floor splitters, and floor-corner fillets. The solutions developed in this study could be applied to other pump sumps with multiple pump units.
