Velocity Measurements Of The Flow Over A Gate-Controlled Weir Structure, Mohamed M. Jalloh
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) uses G304 control structures to manage flow into and out of a large storm-water treatment area (STA). These structures consist of a lateral unsuppressed weir, a sluice gate and a corrugated culvert for flow control and transfer through an embankment. For better flow control in the STAs, it is imperative to accurately measure the discharge through the G304 control structures and to determine the approach velocity over the weir for different field scenarios.
Flow behavior of the G304 structure was examined in a prototype during two days of testing for two canal headwater …
