Spillway for Cooper Dam, Sulphur River, Texas. Hydraulic Model Investigation
Tests were conducted on a 1:36-scale model for Cooper Lake Spillway to investigate the hydraulic performance of the structure for various flow conditions. The model reproduced approximately a 1,300-ft-long approach area, the entire service spillway including nonoverflow sections, and 800 ft of exit channel. Approach conditions immediately upstream of the spillway created a buildup of the water surface along the left and right sides of the spillway. MOdifications to the approach wing walls eliminated the buildup of the water surface, but did not significantly improve the velocity distribution or flow conditions throughout the structure. The modified wing walls were considerably more expensive to construct; therefore, the original wing wall design was reinstalled. (Author)
