The usefulness of deep ocean water has been recognized in various fields such as food, agricultural and marine resources and medicine in recent years. Currently, there are two methods of taking deep sea water: the offshore type, which takes water from offshore bases such as ships and buoys, and the onshore type, which takes water by extending a pipe from the land. They are sucked up by the difference between the pressure at the pipe inlet and the water pressure in the pipe. In addition, the development of an efficient in-pipe water transportation system is considered to contribute not only to the intake of deep ocean water but also to the recovery of seabed sludge and water-soluble resources. The purpose of this study is to investigate numerically the effect of using a water jet from a nozzle installed in the middle of a pipe of a water intake device using a water pressure difference.
