<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily and accurately estimate an obstruction position in a water intake pipe of an ocean deep water intake facility. <P>SOLUTION: An obstruction position in an intake pipe is estimated by a result of observing a state of pressure drop over time after temporarily supplying pressurized water into the intake pipe taking into consideration of elastic deformation of the intake pipe. The method may be combined with an estimation of the obstruction position based on a pressure cycle of a temporarily generated water hammer inside the intake pipe. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
