Surge Tank Stability by Phase Plane Method
Publication: Journal of the Hydraulics Division
Volume 97, Issue 4
Abstract
Using the phase plane method, the stability of oscillations in a simple surge tank is studied for the following cases: constant discharge, constant gate opening, constant power, and constant power combined with constant gate opening. Several quantitative results are obtained from the analysis of singular points. A number of phase portraits are presented to show the effect of changes in different parameters on the qualitative behavior of the system.
