Join us on Tuesday, October 14 from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern for Practical Applications of Trash Racks and Anti-Vortex Devices. This webinar will cover the effects of vortices, debris, and other issues on spillway hydraulics. Air entering the spillway through a vortex reduces the spillway discharge and increases debris management. Various drop inlet spillway designs developed over the years will be reviewed with the effects of the changes on...
