Abstract
Abstract The use of “erosion-free” energy absorbers operating during cavitation without the formation of cavitation erosion extends the use of energy absorbers and diffusers at high flow rates, removing or reducing cavitation restrictions. Considering that energy absorbers are effective means of preventing dangerous malfunctioning currents in the downstream, they make it possible to increase the water level and reduce the cost of fastening the downstream. Give the opportunity to expand the scope of their application should be taken into account when designing. Dampers of this type were used at the spillways of the Shamkhor and Artyom waterworks.
