Design of Side Walls in Chutes and Spillways
Water confined between vertical walls and flowing down an inclined plane exerts a lateral pressure of diminishing intensity on the walls as the steepness of the fall increases. The limit in such a case is a vertical fall when the lateral pressure equals zero. When the flow of water is deflected by a vertical curve as at the bottom of a chute or in a “flip bucket” of a spillway, the centrifugal force increases the pressure on the bottom and on the walls of the confining channel. The effect of this increase in pressure is as though the water were much denser than it really is—in some actual cases as much as twelve times the density of water.
