CHARACTERRISTICS ON WAVE OVERTOPPING AND PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION ON THE FLAP TYPE GATE

Abstract

As to the flap type gate for the protection against storm surge and tsunami, we are advancing the studies on design and construction by considering the hydraulic and hydrodynamic characteristics of the flap type gate. This paper presents the results derived by the hydraulic model tests using the 2-dimennsional channel with wave maker and the model of scale 1: 25, in order to comprehend the characteristics about the amount of wave overtopping and pressure distribution on the flap body in waves.
