Hydraulic model of Forani Central socket on the
Stura di Demonte
of the plumber was commissioned in the executive design of the intake of the Forani hydroelectric plant, on the Stura di Demonte, in the Municipality of Aisone (CN). The project involved deriving from the discharge of an Enel plant, inside an existing tunnel. The experimentation carried out, based on the similarity of Froude, aimed to reproduce in the laboratory, on a 1:20 scale physical model, the conditions that are determined in the event of abrupt maneuvers on the regulating organs of the central building. The purpose of the simulations was to exclude the risk of interference between the variations induced in the motion field and the functioning of the current plant, as was demonstrated in analytical and numerical modeling.
