Turbulent Flow in Rectangular Outlet Conduit, Rend Lake Dam, Big Muddy River, Illinois.

Abstract

Tests were conducted in a 4- by 6-ft concrete conduit at Rend Lake Dam, Big Muddy River, Illinois, in September 1973 to investigate turbulent flow characteristics in a rectangular conduit on a full scale and to provide data for future design work. Two cantilevered velocity probes were used to measure horizontal velocity profiles at 6 points along the inlet region. Piezometric head was measured with embedded piezometers at 12 points along the entire length of the conduit.
