Regulator with gravity flap gate
Abstract
A scale model has been developed for a regulator with gravity flap gate. Series of experiments have been conducted for different opening angle of the flap. The head loss - discharge relation for different opening angle shows significantly different from the theoretical desk study. Based on model study necessary changes were introduced in the equations. Model study identified 20 – 70% variation in discharge estimated by the equations based on desk study. The number of vents in the regulator can be determined through this study with greater level of accuracy.
