Abstract

Sluice gate is an important hydraulic structural element that is widely used for adjusting the flow in hydraulic structures. The working principle of these gates is based on the energy conservation of the upstream and downstream flow. The discharge that can pass through these structures theoretically depends on the gate opening, gravity, and upstream water head. In practice, the theoretical flow is multiplied by a flow coefficient for energy losses due to flow contraction after the gate. Apart from these parameters, it does not seem possible to increase the flow rate theoretically. However, in this study, an innovative design is proposed to increase the discharge by utilizing a deep duct and deflector (or ramp) the hydrostatic pressure difference between the upstream and downstream of the base. Therefore, this study aimed to pass more discharge through the deep duct by creating an additional pressure difference between upstream and downstream. These approaches were tested using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models.
