Plane Gate on Standard Spillway
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 114, Issue 11
Abstract
Using a semiempirical approach, the discharge characteristics of standard spillways controlled by a plane vertical gate, mounted on the spillway crest, are investigated for free flow. It is shown that the proposed equation for discharge depends on the spillway geometry, the gate opening, and the actual head on the spillway. Several flow features are discussed. A diagram is presented for both gated and ungated standard spillway flow, which allows a simple application.
