Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

A 1: 20 scale model of the interchange structure at the junction of two outfall sewers approaching the Hyperion Sewage Treatment Plant, Los Angeles, Calif., was tested in accordance with the Froude law. The study was conducted to determine the effects of various flow distributions among the two influent sewers and channels leading to the new and existing headworks. In particular, the configuration of the throat was studied to ascertain whether the interchange could pass the required flows without causing a backing up in either of the outfall sewers.
