Fig. 39: Flow characteristics <strong>for</strong> different discharges (Q), left: tunneled tapered <strong>diffuser</strong> with long<br />

risers <strong>an</strong>d rosette like port arr<strong>an</strong>gement, right: same with additional Duckbill valves<br />

(D = 200 mm), showing the riser flow deviation, port/riser headloss, port <strong>an</strong>d jet discharge<br />

velocities, <strong>diffuser</strong> pipe velocities <strong>an</strong>d total head (H t )<br />

Table 6 shows the comparison between the different alternatives listed above. An optimized<br />

<strong>diffuser</strong> design often results in <strong>an</strong> increased total head. Maximum values are here a 15 %<br />

increase. But often cheaper solutions in the order of 5 % allow <strong>for</strong> very good <strong>diffuser</strong><br />
