  1. Application Examples Feeder Gates for Canal Gate Valves for Spillway Control

  2. Applications (cont.) Spillway Drum Gates: hollow inside, use buoyancy to control the position of the gate.

  3. Hydrostatic Force on an Inclined Plane Surface Assume atmoshperic condition on the other side of the surface Free surface q x h y x dF y

  4. O Hydrostaic forces FR O

  5. y’ 2m Example The square flood gate (2m by 2m) is hinged along its bottom as shown. Determine the moment at the hinge in order to hold the gate steady. O hinge x y

  6. y’ 2m Example (cont.) x If the square gate is replaced by a circular-shaped gate as shown, recalculate the holding moment. y

  7. 45° Example (cont.) If the square gate is placed at an angle of 45° as shown, recalculate the holding moment again. Note: the y axis has been redefined to follow the gate for convenience. 2m y’ y

  8. An interesting observation When the gas tank is low, the low fuel light will lit to warn the driver. Have you noticed that the light will not always stay on for a period of time. It turns off when either you accelerate (decelerate) or climb (descend) on a sloped road. Can you explain this phenomenon by using the principle of fluid statics. Accelerating (climbing) Decelerating (descending) Fuel level transducer

  9. Free surface, p=p Example: If a container of fluid is accelerating with an acceleration of ax to the right as shown below, the free surface of the fluid will incline with an angle a as shown. h p+dp y p p+dp x p ax a dy dx
