Hydraulic Characteristics of Kdot Flume Inlets
註釋Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) flume inlets are commonly used to intercept storm runoff on bridge decks and bridge approach sections. Safety related design constraints limit the discharge that a flume inlet can capture completely. Any flow that bypasses the flume inlet can cause erosion and maintenance problems. Hydraulic tests of model flume inlets were conducted in the hydraulics laboratory at the University of Kansas. The objectives of these tests were: (1) to determine the hydraulic characteristics of KDOT's standard flume inlet for a roadway with a shallow gutter; (2) to investigate possible design changes that would improve the hydraulic performance of this inlet; and (3) to develop a new flume inlet design for a roadway with a 102 mm (4 in.) edge curb and determine its hydraulic characteristics.
