Lockport Power Plant Sluice Gate and Control Works Discharge Evaluation.

摘要

The US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station conducted an evaluation of the discharge rating curves being used for determining flow rates through the Lockport control works and the power plant sluice gates. The revised curves are to be used by the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Chicago, Illinois, in future flow computations. The study resulted in the recomputation of the rating curves for the power plant sluice gates and for the control works. The control works analysis covered both submerged and unsubmerged flow conditions. Operational recommendations and proposed flow monitoring revisions were also addressed.
