The Application of Hydraulic Automatic Flap Gate in the Regulation Project of Duanmijian River

Abstract:

Informed by water pressure and gate weight balance principle, the hydraulic automatic flap dam makes use of hydraulic power together with the damping feedback system, which makes it possible to automatically open the discharge when water level at the upper stream is high and to close when the level is low. This helps to ensure that the water level at the upper stream always stays within the normal range and has been widely applied in city water regulation projects and hydropower renovation projects alike. The flap dam in the project reported here is constructed upon the existing levees of Duanmijian river. This paper discusses the design of the flap dam as well as the entire outline and its major features.
