The diffuser has many ports. If we can develop equations describing pressures and flows at one port we can then apply it to all of the ports.
We need equations describing Flow from a port as a function of pressure in the
diffuser Head loss (and pressure drop) in the diffuser Flow in the diffuser

Multiport Diffuser: SolutionMultiport Diffuser: Solution The diffuser number, spacing, and jet velocity would be
determined in part by the mixing required in the ambient water (Environmental Fluid Mechanics)
Available head and total flow would be determined by the water source hydraulics
A criteria may also be established for uniformity of flow from the ports
Alternate design criteria may dictate different solution methods

Calculate the total discharge from the ports Compare with design discharge Adjust the _________ ____ at first port to give design
discharge (use goal seeking, solver, or trial and error on spreadsheet). Alternately, set velocity past last port = 0 by changing piezometric head at first port.
It may be necessary to adjust diffuser or port diameter. It will likely be possible to decrease the size of the
diffuser pipe as the flow decreases. This may also help increase the discharge uniformity of the ports.

Design GuidelinesDesign Guidelines The port discharge velocity should be _______ to achieve
good mixing with the ambient water. The sum of all port areas must be less than the diffuser pipe
area. The best area ratio (port area/diffuser area) is usually between 1/3 and 2/3.
The effects of pipe friction and pressure recovery will tend to cancel when Ld is the total length of the diffuser pipe and the friction factor, f, is
obtained by iteration since it is a function of the pipe diameter. If the diffuser area obtained using this method is less than 1.5 x
port area then this design criteria can not be used.
