Abstract:Sluice gates are commonly used water management structures; they are able to deliver flow among both major and minor channels. When used for these operations, they are sometimes referred to as intake structures. These structures can be employed at the dam crest for controlling downstream flow. Irrespective of their simple structures, the hydraulics of sluice gates are complex. Sluice gates are used in various applications, from practical applications such as irrigation channels to research activities in univer… Show more
