Fig. 13: Definition scheme <strong>for</strong> the port-to-port <strong>an</strong>alysis: p a,i = ambient pressure, H = average ambient<br />

water level elevation, q i = discharge through one riser/port configuration at elevation z j,i . p d,i =<br />

<strong>internal</strong> <strong>diffuser</strong> pipe pressure upstream a flow division (node) with <strong>diffuser</strong> pipe centerline<br />

elevation z d,i <strong>an</strong>d horizontal pipe location x d,i<br />

The discharge q i at the position i (Fig. 13) is calculated as follows:<br />

1) The work energy equation applied along a streamline following the <strong>diffuser</strong> pipe<br />

centerline results in eq. (18). It equals the <strong>diffuser</strong> pressure p d,i directly upstream the port/riser<br />

br<strong>an</strong>ch with the known downstream <strong>diffuser</strong> pressure p d,i-1 plus the known static pressure<br />

difference due to the elevation difference, plus the dynamic pressure difference plus the<br />

known losses occurring in the main <strong>diffuser</strong> pipe. The losses are divided into friction losses<br />

<strong>an</strong>d local losses like bends <strong>an</strong>d diameter ch<strong>an</strong>ges or the passage of a br<strong>an</strong>ch opening.<br />
