    This document provides information about sluice gates and the equations used to model flow through them in river modeling software. It includes a figure of an example broad crested sluice gate and lists the variables and equations used to calculate flow under both free-flowing and submerged conditions. As downstream water levels rise and submergence increases, the software switches from using one equation to another to gradually model the transition between free flow and fully submerged flow states.

    An example sluice gate with a broad crest is shown in the figure below.

    The equation for a free flowing sluice gate is as follows:

    1)

    Symbol Description Units

    Upstream energy head above the spillway crest (


    )

    Coefficient of discharge, typically 0.5 to 0.7

    When the downstream tailwater increases to the point at which the gate is no longer flowing freely
    (downstream submergence is causing a greater upstream headwater for a given flow), the program
    switches to the following form of the equation:

    2)

    Where:
    Submergence begins to occur when the tailwater depth above the spillway divided by the headwater
    energy above the spillway is greater than 0.67. (2) is used to transition between free flow and fully
    submerged flow. This transition is set up so the program will gradually change to the fully
    submerged Orifice equation (Radial Gates:3) when the gates reach a submergence of 0.80.
