Abstract

Fuse gate is one of the spillway types that according to the plan view have two models of straight and labyrinth crest. Labyrinth crest fuse gates with increasing crest length, discharge capacity and storage of water in reservoir, can prevent flooding of upstream land by reducing water level above the structure. They have three different types: Narrow Low Head (NLH), Wide Low Head (WLH), and Wide High Head (WHH). In this study, the effect of increasing canal slope on discharge coefficient in 3 models of fuse gate: WLH, Straight, and Straight with Inclined Side view was investigated. These models were made of Plexiglas with a bucket height of 16.7 cm. Tests were made in a sloping experimental canal with a length of 12 m, width of 0.5 m, and height of 0.8 m. The results showed that the discharge coefficient of fuse gate spillway depends on h/H. In WLH model of fuse gate, the discharge coefficient reduces as parabolic with increasing discharge and in Straight Fuse gates, the discharge coefficient in the form of linear has increasing, constant and decreasing depending on the slopes. In all 3 models with increasing slope, the downstream water depth of spillway reduces and discharge coefficient value increases. Model comparison showed that in a constant h/H, the Straight spillway with Inclined Side view has higher discharge coefficient and stores the maximum volume of water in the reservoir. It was also found that at a constant discharge, the WLH model has lower upstream water level. Finally, the discharge coefficient equation for straight and labyrinth fuse gates were obtained in the form of linear and power functions. The statistical analysis indicated high accuracy of the equations.
