    Batool Al-kharabsheh
    This document describes an experiment to study flow under a sluice gate. The objectives are to study the behavior of flow through the gate, determine the coefficient of discharge, observe different flow patterns, and determine the relationship between upstream head and flow rate. The experimental procedure involves setting up the gate in the channel, adjusting the water flow, and measuring upstream and downstream water depths for different under-gate depths. Key concepts discussed include specific energy, critical depth, velocity, Bernoulli's equation, and calculating the coefficient of discharge.

    Experiment (7): flow under sluice gate

    Introduction:

    *An open channel is a duct in which the liquid flows with a free surface exposed to
    atmospheric pressure. Along the length of the duct, the pressure at the surface is therefore
    constant and the flow cannot be generated by external pressures but only by differences in
    potential energy due to the slope of the surface.

    *The flow channel is one of the most important tools available for the teaching of
    hydraulic principles.

    *The flow channel has been designed to allow students a wide range of experiments on
    water flow in an open channel under different flow conditions and analyze the effects of
    test models of various shapes on water flow. It also allows the verification of the Chezy
    equation and Mannings friction factor. In addition studies of 'specific energy-depth'
    relationships, the effect of various weirs and flumes, hydraulic jump and the
    determination of hydraulic mean depth can also be carried out.

    Objective:

    1.To study the behavior of flow through a sluice gate in various conditions

    2. To study the Coefficient of discharge gate

    3. To Observe flow patterns under a sluice gate( subcritical, supercritical and


    critical case)
    4. To determine the relationship between upstream head and flow rate.

    Experimental Procedure:

    1. Set up the hydraulics bench using the general experimental procedures.

    2. Fit the sluice gate in the channel at a distance of 20cm or more from the water
    flow entry.

    3. Turn on the hydraulics bench and adjust the water flow


    4. Check that stable conditions are achieved in the channel and measure the water
    depth: upstream of sluice gate and downstream of sluice gate.

    5. Repeat step 4 for different under sluice gate depth

    Theory:

    Gates are used to regulate the level and flow in open channels and reservoirs. The
    sluice gate is one of the most common gates. In order to design a sluice gate it is
    necessary to determine the head-discharge relationship (Q=f(H)), and the pressure
    distribution over the gate. Figure 1 shows the diagram of the flow under a sluice
    gate, assuming that there are no energy losses. Under this assumption, the Total
    Energy Head (H) is equal in both sides of the gate (upstream and downstream);
    however, in the real case energy losses are present.

    *The specific energy (E) of a liquid in an open channel is the total energy
    (expressed as a head) relative to the bottom of the channel.
    *The specific energy reaches a minimum value Emin at some intermediate point,
    called the critical point, characterized by the critical depth hc and critical velocity
    Vc. The minimum specific energy is also called the critical energy.

    For rectangular channel:


    3
    Emin= 2 * yc

    Vc =√ g∗hc

    For cd calculations

    Cd = Coefficient of discharge
    Q(actual)
    = Cd¿ 1
    Q(theory)

    Bernoulli’s Equation

    v 12 v 22
    h1 + = h2 +
    2g 2g

    For the purpose of experiment studies, Assume h1>> h2 and Assume v1<< v2

    Q ¿ ) = C d∗b∗hG∗√ 2 g h1
