Many scientists of the world were engaged in the study and development of various schemes and models of hydraulic elevators for the purpose of excavation and hydraulic transport of hydraulic mixtures [1-22]. For the specific conditions of the selected research object, we determined the main sizes and parameters of the hydraulic elevator, which allows cleaning the water area of the bottom water intake of the spillway of the Tupalang hydroelectric station, using the hydrostatic pressure at the object concentrated in front of its dam. To clarify the particle size distribution of sediment deposited at the inlet head of the water intake of the Tupalang reservoir water outlet, samples of bottom sediments were taken and their particle size distribution was analyzed in laboratory conditions. At the water intake area of the 1st tier of the Tupalang reservoir, the deposited sediments are represented by smaller particles, the diameter of which is from 5 mm to 0.1 mm, and in percentage terms, their share is 95%. The main results are given for calculating and justifying the parameters of a hydraulic elevator for cleaning sediment from the water area of the inlet head of the water outlet structure of the first tier of the Tupalang reservoir. When determining and substantiating the main sizes of the hydraulic elevator, theoretical and experimental research methods were used, and the method of S.M.Shtin was applied.
Up to 2021, 42 new hydropower stations will be created in Uzbekistan and 32 existing hydropower stations will be repaired. Hydraulic engineering designers face a number of problems with the open flow division nodes in the field, which are part of the hydraulic structures of such hydropower plants. Considering the above, the main objectives of the research were determined: a) development of a refined method for the hydraulic calculation of flow division nodes with a quiet flow regime; b) the development of methods for predicting deformation of the channel in the area of the division node. The studies were carried out using theoretical and experimental studies using the equation for changing the amount of movement, laboratory studies on a hydraulic model, field surveys of existing water intake nodes, as well as analysis of experimental data available in the literature on this issue. Based on the theoretical and experimental studies, recommendations were made for the open flow division nodes. These recommendations are valid for division nodes at a division angle not exceeding 90°, for prismatic channels of rectangular cross section with relatively small bottom slopes. These recommendations are intended for flows with values of B / H = 3 ÷7.
Existing methods are considered for designing sedimentation tanks in the Burjar hydroelectric power station to solve the problem of abrasive wear of aggregates. Weighted sediments abrade the lining of derivational and station water conduits, as well as the working elements of hydraulic turbines. In the Burjar hydroelectric power station, there is a problem associated with the abrasive wear of the units. Abrasive wear of turbines leads to a significant drop in their efficiency, and therefore, a decrease in the power and energy generation of a hydroelectric power station, a reduction in the service life of hydroturbine equipment, and a fragment of wear. For the design of the sump, geological and hydrological information was collected about the Burjar hydroelectric power station. The sump is projected onto the derivation channel of the Burjar hydroelectric station. To determine the size of the sump, laboratory analysis of the water of the Burjar hydroelectric station was carried out. The hydraulic calculation of the sump includes determining the main dimensions of the chamber, sediment volume, flushing turbidity, and siltation time of the dead chamber volume with sediment. The calculation is described by the method of academician E.A. Zamarin. According to the method of E.A. Zamarin, the width of the chamber is 9.6 m and the length of the chamber is 73 m. These results are accurate and they were used during the design of the sump.
