Abstract
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TV A) has installed and operated five fixed-dispersion cone valves at the Chatuge, Fontana, Nottely, and Watauga projects. The hydraulic laboratory of the TVA has been closely associated with the design of the dissipating structures which were placed around these valves (known as “Howell-Bunger” valves) and has therefore made prototype observations of their performance. The Fontana .and Watauga installations were made in enclosed conduits so that all air drawn into the valve area must be supplied through long air passages. Although the air demand is a function of the structure surrounding the valve, observations have been made at these installations to yield an indication of the air demand conditions.
