Sluices, Hulah Dam, Caney River, Oklahoma: Model Investigation
Abstract
The model investigation of sluices for Hulah Dam was conducted to determine the hydraulic performance of nine sluices, each 5.0 ft wide by 6.5 ft high with tetrahedral deflectors on the floor of the outlet portals, discharging into a stilling basin developed from consideration of spillway flow. The stilling basin consisted of a horizontal apron 104 ft long at elevation 695, supporting two rows of baffle piers 8 ft high, and terminated by a stepped end sill 7 ft high. The sluices were horizontal in alignment with their inverts at elevation 702. The model reproduced three complete sluices and a proportionate width of stilling basin.
