Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents data obtained during prototype tests concerned with thevibration of the 50- by 55-ft spillway tainter gates at Barkley Dam. The gates vibrate during flow passage in which the gate lip is submerged by high tailwater. Field tests were conducted on two of the gates during high tailwater. Three pressure transducers were placed near the lip of the gate. In addition 14 accelerometers were attached at preselected locations on the gate. The second gate was instrumented with five accelerometers only for a limited data comparison. Data reduction indicated that many components vibrate at the same frequency as the gate lip pressure fluctuations. Computations and ring tests indicate that this frequency approaches at least one component's natural frequency. The gate seal at the lip was removed and the test repeated under identical conditions. The measured vibrations were all dramatically reduced. By varying the opening of the gates, under identical conditions, it was found that vibration severity decreased with increasing tailwater submergence. Remedial measures in design and operation of the of the gates, were recommended. (Author).

Book excerpt: This report presents data obtained during prototype tests concerned with the performance of the 110- by 800-ft lock at Barkley Lock and Dam project, Cumberland River, Kentucky. Prototype measurements are continuous records of the following: (a) pressures at 22 locations in the lock culvert system; (b) valve opening patterns; (c) valve leaf pressures and accelerations; (d) water-surface oscillations and elevation; (e) hawser forces and motion of a nine-barge tow moored in the lock; (f) valve-hoist strains and cylinder pressures; (g) miter gate opening; and (h) air-vent flow rates.

This book was released on 2017-08-11 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydraulic gates are utilized in multiple capacities in modern society. As such, the failure of these gates can have disastrous consequences, and it is imperative to develop new methods to avoid these occurrences. Dynamic Stability of Hydraulic Gates and Engineering for Flood Prevention is a critical reference source containing scholarly research on engineering techniques and mechanisms to decrease the failure rate of hydraulic gates. Including a range of perspectives on topics such as fluid dynamics, vibration mechanisms, and flow stability, this book is ideally designed for researchers, academics, engineers, graduate students, and practitioners interested in the study of hydraulic gate structure.
