Lock Culvert Outlet Basins. Hydraulic Model Investigation,
Abstract
At several of the new Ohio River locks, difficulty has been experienced in fully emptying the lock chamber when riverflow conditions were near the maximum locking stage. Generalized tests of a typical lock culvert outlet basin were conducted in a 1:25-scale model to investigate the feasibility of basin modifications to reduce the residual head across the lower miter gates.
