Dimensionless Gate Index• Combines reservoir head,
gate / orifice opening, proximity to surface into 1 term
• Ratio of vertical gate orifice opening to the reservoir head above the ogee crest
• Consistently provides trends that describe tests
• Can be estimated during floods or risk assessments• GI=Go/HR
Go= vertical orifice opening
HR = Head above ogee crest in reservoir.
GI=0.47

Greater efficiency at GI = 0.36?
• Streamlines approach varies due to debris and high WSE, results in higher gate discharge coefficient
• Removes clear water vortices near the gate

Slide 22 notes:
The reduction values are based on taking the final WSE from the with debris condition and interpolating
a flow rate from a clear water rating curve for each gate setting above. This does not indicate that
closing the gates gives greater capacity, but that a smaller gate index value will result in a lower impact
to both changes in WSE and flow rates with debris present.
Slide 23 notes:
With clear water, the WSE for a fixed flow rate continues to decrease as the gates are opened to
uncontrolled flow (100% open). However, there appears to be a stabilization in the WSE for the with
debris condition once the gates are open to a certain amount. Each data point was taken at a fixed flow
rate of 10,300 cfs, but the value of the gate opening is different (right hand axis) which leads to a
different initial WSE for each gate setting.

Analysis• Limited tests to date, only 1 flow and 1 spillway
configuration with 5 iterations of each. Results have been very dependent on gate index
• Uncontrolled flow (GI>0.8)– Average WSE rise of 3.5 ft, max = 5.1 ft– Average reduction to discharge capacity of 30%, max = 35%
• Low gate index values (GI=0.36)– Average WSE drop of 0.4 ft, max rise of 0.02 ft – Average increase to discharge capacity of 2%, max drop of
0.6%• Not uncommon for risk assessments to estimate a
40-60% reduction in discharge capacity which may overestimate impact
