Step 1
1 of 3The rate of discharge is given by Eq.(13-77):
where is discharge coefficient, is width of the gate, is the height of the gate opening, is gravitational acceleration and is reservoir depth before the gate.
The flow rate per unit width is:
The depth ratio is:
The corresponding discharge coefficient is determined from Fig. 13–46 (according to and free outflow ) to be : .
With , ft, ft/s and ft, the rate of discharge per unit width is:
