Abstract

In controlling water resources, sluice gates have received attention from researchers due to the ease of installation and simplicity of the operation and the governing equations. The experimental study of (Henry, 1950) is one of the first research publications in this field that estimated the flow discharge coefficient for the sluice gate with a diagram. The studies of (Alhamid, 1999), Rajaratnam and Subramanian (1967), Ferro (2000), Daneshfaraz et al. (2016) and Heidari et al. (2020) are other studies in the field of hydraulics of sluice gate, that explains the importance of research in this field. In the present paper, results of experimental investigations on the effect of applying sill on discharge coefficient in different positions of the sluice gate are presented. The effect of sills including semi-cylindrical, cylindrical, pyramidal and rectangular cube in different widths was investigated.
