    This document describes a laboratory experiment on discharge through a sluice gate. The experiment visualizes discharge beneath a sluice gate, creation of a hydraulic jump downstream, and drowning of a sluice gate. The apparatus used includes a hydraulic bench, flow visualization channel, sluice gate, forceps, marbles, dye, and stopwatch. The procedure adjusts the overshot and undershot weir to create different flow conditions under the sluice gate. The conclusion discusses that sluice gates are used to control water levels and flow rates, and that the presence of a sill under the gate improves flow characteristics by increasing the discharge coefficient.

    Discharge Through a Sluice Gate

    Name: Bermoy, Bethany G. Instructor: Ms. Michelle Daarol


    Program: Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Code: 2255

    I. Introduction

    Gates disrupt the flow and generate nonuniform flow conditions upstream and downstream of the
    gate. Depending on the tailwater depth, the outflow from these gates is classed as free or
    submerged. The flow properties behind the gates have been widely explored, both theoretically and
    experimentally. This experiments for free gate outflow conditions were carried out in a horizontal
    rectangular flume. In addition, an equation for calculating the coefficient of discharge for both silled
    and non-silled gates was devised, and its performance was compared to that of other researchers.

    II. Objective
    Visualize the ff.:
    • Discharge beneath a sluice gate
    • Creation of hydraulic jump downstream of a sluice gate
    • The drowning of a sluice gate

    III. Apparatus/Materials

    • Hydraulic Bench
    • Flow Visualization Channel
    • Sluice Gate
    • Forceps
    • Marbles
    • Dye & Mount Accessories
    • Stopwatch

    IV. Procedure

    1. Install the visualization apparatus over the hydraulic bench open channel
    2. Add marbles to the apparatus reservoir to reduce the level of flow disturbances in the in-flowing
    fluid.
    3. To improve contrast, dye can be added to the water and mount it in the apparatus reservoir.
    4. Install sluice gate on the channel with the help of the forceps.
    5. Adjust the overshot and undershot weir to create:
    ➢ Supercritical flow under sluice gate
    ➢ Flow under sluice gate with hydraulic jump
    ➢ flow under sluice gate (drowned)

    VIII. Discussion of Results/Conclusion

    These valves are often used to control water levels and flow rates in rivers and canals and are
    designed to seal in only one way. They are also utilized in sewage treatment plants. The presence of
    a sill under a sluice gate improves flow characteristics by increasing the coefficient of discharge
    regardless of form. Shape and height both have a crucial influence in increasing the discharge
    coefficient. Flow parameters, gate opening, sill height, and sill form elements are all included in the

    calculation. The generated equation matches well with the experimental results as well as published
    data from other researchers.
