Vortex Flow Control Devices

The principle behind vortex flow control involves the initiation of a passive vortex within a specialized device. As water flows through the device, it is directed in a manner that induces the formation of a swirling vortex. This vortex effect creates a hydraulic resistance, effectively controlling the flow rate through the system. By adjusting the size and design of the vortex device, engineers can fine-tune the discharge rate to match the capacity of downstream infrastructure.
