Surge problems in canals with high-lift locks
Prototype surge problems in existing canals and investigations made to develop plan and determine economic feasibility of Lake Erie-Lake Ontario Waterway; total drop in overland section would be about 320 ft; lock dimensions considered are 110 ft wide by 1200 ft long with lifts of 107, 80 or 64 ft, depending on number of locks; to reduce turbulence and mooring line stress on ships within lock chamber, filling and emptying system utilizing bottom longitudinal distribution laterals was designed; number of surge conditions at existing locks were reviewed to determine magnitude of surges and type of improvement or operation.
