ABSTRACT:In this paper the effect of the lower gate edge on the water surface profile (W.S.P) have been studied in a rectangular flume with four gate openings (2, 3, 4 and 4.5) cm, five upstream of water heads (18.9,21,24,26 and 28.9) cm and five gate cases (vertical and inclined vertically by angle (45)o with and opposite to flow direction )with horizontal and sharp lower edge ( inclined by angle (45)o ) Were adopted in the experiments. The results show that the convergence length for inclined gate with flow direction and horizontal edge increases by (28.7)"%" with respect to vertical, while decreases by (21.4)"%" when gate inclined opposite to flow direction and horizontal edge. The convergence angle decreases by (38.7)"%" when gate inclined with flow direction and horizontal edge, while increase by (22.4)"%" when gate inclined opposite flow direction and horizontal edge. The horizontal lip for the inclined gate with flow direction reduced the (W.S.P) convergence angle and then reduced the scour downstream sluice gate.
