Abstract: The unsteady load and vibration behavior of vertical‐lift gates was investigated for different gate‐bottom geometries and disharge conditions in an open channel and at a conduit inlet. In all cases, vibrations occurred in ...

Abstract: The effects of various approach‐flow conditions upon the down‐pull, the local pressures, and the discharge characteristics have been investigated for intake gates. Laser‐Doppler‐Anemometry measurements near the separation ...
