Energy dissipater of multi-stage orifice plate, as a kind of effective energy dissipater with characteristics
of high energy dissipation ratio and low cavitations risk, has become welcomed more and more by hydraulics
researchers. The relationship between the contraction ratio of upper stage orifice plate and the lower one’s under
the principle of equal-cavitation characteristics, and the reasonable distance between upper stage orifice plate and
the lower one under the condition of complying with this principle, are two important factors to be considered
for multi-stage energy dissipater design. In the present paper, these two factors were analyzed by theoretical
consideration and numerical simulations, and solving methods were put forward. The conclusion in this paper
was proved to be reasonable by model experiment.
