1Closing, 0.3292.217After 10.0 s, most of the hydraulic oscillation phenomena in the Southern Main Tunnel disappearedAfter 20.0 s, the side tank in the Water Distribution Pool starts to withdraw water. After 85.0 s, the water in the Southern Main Tunnel disappeared
2Opening, 1.5382.494After 11.8 s, most of the hydraulic oscillation phenomena in the Southern Main Tunnel disappearedAfter 300.0 s, the Water Distribution Pool and the Southern Main Tunnel reached a steady-flow state
