Introduction
 Design Procedure:

1. By trail and error, determine the required design head H0 and the crest radius from Fig.
17 18 H0 / Rs= 0.3
17.18. 0 3 is recommended
recommended. Note that in Fig. 17 18 the discharge coefficient C0 is
Fig 17.18,
for the English units. For metric units, the coefficient should be multiplied by a conversion
factor of 0.552.
2. Determine the discharge rating curve for the full range of heads from Fig. 17.19.
3. Determine the lower nappe profile from Figs. 17.17 and 17.20 and Tables 17.2, 17.3, 17.4.
4. Check for throat control in the shaft using the following:
where : CR = 0.275 for units in m and m3/s,
0 2045 for units in ft and ft3/s,
CR = 0.2045 /s
R = Required radius for throat control (m or ft)
Ha = head from headwater level to throat location ((m or ft))
Q = discharge under consideration(m3/s or ft3/s)
If R exceeds the radius of the shaft for a given flow then throat control exists and the discharge
is based on the shaft radius.

5. The downstream tunnel is ordinarily sized to flow no more than ¾ full with the

maximum value of Maning’s roughness coefficient n= 0.016 to avoid potentially

unstable flow conditions. If the tunnel flow full, with throat control already
