HYDRAULIC MODELS

Quaderna stream – Autorità di Bacino Reno

Bevano stream – Autorità dei Bacini Romagnoli

Hydraulic computational modelling of the Bevano stream under the railway bridge of the Bologna-Ancona line.

Hydraulic computational modelling of the Bevano stream in permanent-motion conditions, both in present and design conditions, aimed to define the hydraulic clearance under the railway bridge in the maximum flow-rate conditions calculated for a return-period of two hundred years.

Services provided: Hydraulic computational modelling aimed to define the hydraulic clearance under the railway bridge to be upgraded, aimed to obtain the hydraulic authorization.

Hydraulic verification study of the San Vittore – Cesena irrigation system, within the framework of the multiple use of the Emiliano Romagnolo Channel waters.

Hydraulic computational model in permanent-motion and varying-motion conditions of the San Vittore irrigation system, with the following scope:

• Verification of the pressurization system with reference to the network transitory regimes;
• Verification of the distribution capacity of the irrigation network under permanent motion regime.

Services provided: Hydraulic computational model of the irrigation network and new pressurization system in constant motion and varying motion conditions.

K-7 diesel oil line to the Q8 depot in Naples

Permanent-motion hydraulic computational modelling of the K-7 diesel oil 10 ppm line, property of Kuwait Petroleum Italia SpA, between Darsena Petroli and the Naples coast depot.

The engineering works included the development of the following activities:

• Calculation of hydraulic head losses when the flow-rate varies in the K-7 line, in the present configuration, aiming to calibrate the hydraulic model;
• Calculation of hydraulic head losses when the capacity varies for the K-7 line in the designed configuration;
• Dimensioning of the new line replacing the underground pipe to be removed along Via delle Industrie, for a length of about 800 metres, with diameter optimization depending on the required performances and the available spaces.

Services provided: Hydraulic computational modelling of the pipe under continuous-motion conditions.

Cavo Budrione – Consorzio di Bonifica della Romagna

Preparation of the final documents aimed to obtain the hydraulic authorization to cross the drain system of the Cavo Budrione consortium, in the Municipality of Forlì.

The carried-out activities were the following:

• Definition of an inflow-outflow model to identify the maximum flow-rate to be considered for the hydraulic checks.
• On-site geometric survey of the free outflow sections currently present in Cavo Budrione, up-stream and down-stream the railway crossing.
• Definition of the optimal outflow section of the crossing structure, by means of hydraulic computational tests, in a uniform-motion regime.
• Definition of the geometric and typological features of the new railway crossing structure.

Services provided: River hydraulic computational modelling, in permanent-motion regime, in present and designed conditions, aimed to obtain the hydraulic authorization.
