Olmsted Horse Wicket Experiment in 1:5-Scale Hydraulic Flume Model

Abstract

The experimental results proposed for the Olmsted Dam operations of the horse wicket in the 1:5-scale hydraulic models are presented in this document. The results of this model investigation provide guidance to design necessary equipment and appurtenances for horse wicket operations in the field. The horse wicket will be used in a 1,400-ft-wide navigable pass of the Olmsted Dam. No significant operational problem was discovered during the normal dam operations investigated in this study. Flipping of the bottom-held wicket for which the bottom of the wicket was pushed down to flip the wicket into its up position must be restricted to reduce inelastic deformation of the wicket components.
