Gate Lip Hydraulics under Sluice Gate

Hydraulics characteristics of tipping sediment flushing gate.

This paper highlights a preliminary study on the potential of a tipping flush gate to be used in an open storm drain to remove sediment. The investigation was carried out by using a plasboard model of the tipping flush gate installed in a rectangular flume. A steady flow experiment was carried out to determine the discharge coefficients and also the outflow relationship of the tipping flush gat...

Comparison of Experimental Study and Cfd Analysis of the Flow under a Sluice Gate

Flow in the open channels has great importance in the hydraulic engineering. Any disturbances as contractions and expansions affect the flow characteristics like velocities, flow rates and water surface profiles. Their effects on the flow must be considered during the design process of flow structures. In the last decades numerical solutions become popular as experimental studies take time, may...

The effect of disturbances on the flows under a sluice gate and past an inclined plate

Free surface potential flows past disturbances in a channel are considered. Three different types of disturbance are studied: (i) a submerged obstacle on the bottom of a channel; (ii) a pressure distribution on the free surface; and (iii) an obstruction in the free surface (e.g. a sluice gate or a flat plate). Surface tension is neglected, but gravity is included in the dynamic boundary conditi...

What Gate? Gate what?

Since economic liberalization period, Chinese housing typologies have experienced a dramatical change. From the traditional Siheyuan building type to the current gated communities, which prototype has become the most widespread residential housing type in modern China Cities. At the same time, many negative feedbacks about the city life have been appearing, such as traffic congestion, the loss ...
