Modelación hidráulica para la determinación de la eficiencia de los sumideros tipo T45 modificado con barrotes circulares de aguas lluvias

Abstract

In this project, the main objective is to determine the most efficient collection scenario within the city roads, a different geometry was used than the one used in the regulations of Ecuador respecting the parameters that it imposes. The use of T45 sinks with circular bars is established in compliance with the country's standards, which were modeled on a 1: 4 scale in carbon fiber, located on an acrylic platform that simulates a half way, and alternating the number of these; On the platform we present two scenarios, the first one at ground level and the second one located at 1.75 centimeters above the road, as it is at a 1: 4 scale. Data collection was carried out in the laboratory of the Faculty of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, this model presents dynamic, geometric and kinematic similarity. Thirty-six combinations of longitudinal slope and transverse slope are established, and eight combinations of analysis based on previous research. Having as longitudinal slopes two and four percent and as cross slopes 0.5 percent, 4 and 8 percent. Outstanding geometry and determine the hydraulic efficiency; the results found establish that the elevation scenarios increase or decrease the efficiency according to the combination of the slope where they are located, the most efficient elevation being the one that presents four sinks with 0.5 percent longitudinal slope and 4 percent transverse slope with an efficiency of 91 percent.
