Model-Prototype Conformity: Hydraulic Conditions to Lock and Dam No. 4
The new lock and dam here considered is located on the Monongahela River. Because of local conditions, the structure, as originally designed, was subjected to adverse currents that had an effect on the maneuverability of river vessels in the upper approach to the locks. At moderately high stages, the main currents, after sweeping around two comparatively sharp bends upstream, followed the lock side of the river, increased in velocity as they reached the upper approach, and then swung sharply across the lock entrance toward the center of the stream before discharging over the spillway section.
