Abstract:The gate which controls the flow through the dam tunnel is termed as lift gate. Such gates are subjected to the hydrostatic and hydrodynamics forces, since the flow passes over and beneath the gate and produces pressures at the top and bottom of the gate surfaces. The differences between these two pressure forces are termed as downpull force. The evaluation of this force is very important due to its effects on closure of the gate, its positive and / or negative values.
