Optimal Flood Discharge Scheduling to Alleviate Vibration Under Gate Operational Rules by Zetai Yang, Suzhen Feng, Kaixiang Fu, Jinwen Wang

“…ABSTRACT The concomitant vibration of flood discharge, which would cause structure damages to hydraulic infrastructure and thus incurs threats to nearby communities, has rarely been addressed yet cries for an effective solution in discharge scheduling of sluice gates. This work improves on the traditional practice (Model‐I) that mainly aims to restrain start‐up and shutdown actions of spillway gates with a new model (Model‐II) that includes a flexible vibration damping rule, in which the sluice gates are grouped in priority to be sequentially committed, and in the same group, a reference gate is prioritised to enforce a uniform discharge from the active outlets and the gates are paired to ensure a symmetrical opening. …”
