Key Features
- Movable control structure with a curved (circular segment) gate wall
- Lever-operated height adjustment for precise gate positioning
- Lateral sealing lips prevent side leakage during testing
- Demonstrates free and submerged discharge under a radial gate
- Enables observation of jet contraction (vena contracta) and downstream hydraulic jumps
- Can be combined with fixed structures such as a broad-crested weir to simulate barrages
Applications
The Radial Gate accessory is used with the experimental flume to study open-channel flow control, helping students understand how radial gates, often used in combination with fixed weirs in barrages, regulate discharge in open channels.
