摘要： As irrigation districts rapidly advance in terms of informatization, research on intelligent water quantity control technologies for open channels has gained increasing importance. This study aims to investigate the flow capacity and hydraulic characteristics of gates in open channels, focusing on the flow measurement and the hydraulic behavior around water-measuring structures. Although automated control in irrigation systems has achieved significant development, research on the flow characteristics near gates remains limited. To address this gap, an integrated approach combining indoor physical model experiments with theoretical analysis was used. This study explored the water surface profile, cross-sectional flow velocity distribution, vertical velocity distribution, and turbulent kinetic energy under various gate opening conditions and flow rates. The findings reveal that the water surface exhibits a sharp rise upstream of the gate, followed by a steep decline and stabilization downstream, influenced by the gate's water-blocking effect. The flow velocities near the gate opening differ significantly in direction and magnitude from those in other cross-sections, affecting both longitudinal and vertical velocities. The turbulent kinetic energy is concentrated near the gate opening, and the turbulent kinetic energy is primarily concentrated near the sidewalls and the channel bottom; the gate's opening size plays a crucial role in its diffusion and distribution. Linear regression analysis was utilized to fit the gate flow coefficient formula, and a comparative analysis of the measurement accuracy was conducted. The relative error between the calculated flow values and the actual measured values is within +/- 5%, which meets the precision requirements specified in the water measurement standards for irrigation canal systems in the irrigation district. This study pioneers an integrated approach for investigating the hydraulic characteristics of gates in open channels, merging physical model experiments with theoretical analysis. It provides novel insights into how gate openings affect water surface profiles, flow velocity distributions, and turbulent kinetic energy. This research also underscores the role of gate discharge in turbulent kinetic energy distribution, offering technical insights to enhance flow measurement accuracy and prevent sediment deposition, thereby optimizing gate applications for efficient water management. Overall, this study significantly advances the understanding of open channel flow dynamics and holds substantial significance for the refinement of water quantity control techniques in irrigation districts.
