If the length of the diversion pipeline L, the equal cross-sectional area A,
and z = h 2 -h 1 (indicating the difference between the water level of the surge
shaft and the water level of the reservoir), then

It is assumed that the sectional area of the surge shaft is A t , and the
continuous equation is as follows:
V =

Substituting the expression of V into the equation of motion, we get

This is a damped wave equation, which belongs to the second-order
nonlinear ordinary differential equation. Newton iterative method or fourthorder Runge–Kutta method is commonly used in the numerical solution.
