Abstract
A comparison between a series of current-meter measurements of discharge over a dam on a midwestern river and tests of a 1 : 12 scale model of a section of the dam is presented in this paper. Prototype heads covered by the measurements range d from 1.7 to 6.3 ft, and discharges ranged from less than 2,000 to nearly 16,000 cu ft per sec. Eleven of the twenty-three discharge measurements were made while the dam was submerged. Submergences ranged from less than 12% to nearly 90%.
