WinGate Software for Discharge Calibration of Gated Check Structures

摘要

WinGate is a new interactive computer program that provides discharge calibration of canal check structures containing radial gates and/or vertical slide gates. The software provides a graphical user interface to define dimensions and hydraulic properties of the canal, check structure, and gates, and enables the user to compute discharge for specific gate settings or the gate openings needed to pass a specified discharge. The software utilizes the latest energy-momentum calibration equations that enable calibration for a wide range of upstream and downstream cross sections. Rating tables covering ranges of canal water level conditions can be generated for both free flow and submerged flow cases.
