Air Demand and Vibration Measurements, Wynoochee Dam Wynoochee River, Washington.
Abstract
Tests were conducted to determine: (1) the magnitude of vibrations occurring at the dam structure, Vista House, and sluice gate, (2) gate-lip pressure fluctuations, (3) airflow rates, and (4) if correlation existed between the gate and Vista House vibrations. The measurements were made for a full range of gate openings at 1-ft increments from 1 through 10 ft with essentially full pool (799+ ft msl). Data reduction and analysis by WES indicated a frequency correlation of small magnitude between the gate-lip pressures and Vista House vibrations during test 17 (gate opening 9 ft). The measured air vent velocities and head losses were within the limits suggested by EM 1110-2-1602. The maximum air vent flow occurred when the sluice gate was fully open. (Author)
