Problem 35P
A sluice gate, which controls flow rate in a channel by simply raising or lowering a vertical plate, is commonly used in irrigation systems. A force is exerted on the gate due to the difference between the water heights y, and y2 and the flow velocities V1, and V2 upstream and downstream from the gate, respectively. Disregarding the wall shear forces at the channel surfaces, develop relations for V1 V2, and the force acting on a sluice gate of width w during steady and uniform flow.
