AB  - The working characteristics of a longitudinal flow hydraulic installation is largely determined by the
interaction of operating elements with hydraulic flow. A salient feature of the studied device is the operative
parts in the form of hollow cylinders with through-holes. Entering the flow, they fill with water, with their mass
increasing. Leaving the flow, the cylinder becomes empty and its weight is equal to its proper weight. The
process of increasing in the cylinder’s weight in its interaction with the flow can be regarded as manifestation
of the "pseudo-reactive force". The research considers the features of this interaction for the movable operating
elements of variable mass. An original solution is suggested for this problem of practical value and theoretical
significance.
