dc.description.abstract The purpose of the project is to create a decision support system (DSS) by developing guidelines on how to operate a gravity drain structure gate (GDSG) in the Clarence Cannon National Wildlife Refuge (CCNWR), located in Pike County, MO. The purpose of the gate is flood control. The gate allows water from the Mississippi River (through backwater on Bryant’s Creek) to flow into the CCNWR. The gate and the downstream protection, which includes Articulated Concrete Block (ACB) and riprap revetment areas, is already been built and in placed. The gate operation is modelled and simulated to predict the water flow and depth behavior with time. Velocities downstream of the gate are compared against maximum allowable velocities to ensure stone dynamic stability for the riprap protection already on site. The gate operation rules provide a decision support system to efficiently and safely manage river flows for flood control. en_US
dc.description.abstract El propósito de este proyecto es crear un sistema de apoyo de decisión desarrollando guías de como operar la estructura de gravedad localizada en “Clarence Cannon National Wildlife Refuge” (CCNWR, por sus siglas en inglés), localizado en Pike County, MO. El propósito de la compuerta es el control de la inundación. La compuerta permite flujo del Río Mississippi por medio de remansos (“backwater”) a través de la quebrada Bryant’s. La compuerta y su protección aguas abajo, la cual incluye bloques de hormigón articulado y revestimiento tipo “riprap”, ya están construidas y colocado en su lugar. La operación de la compuerta es modelada y simulada para predecir el flujo de agua y comportamiento de profundidades con respecto al tiempo. Las velocidades aguas abajo de la compuerta son comparadas con velocidades máximas permitidas para asegurar que el “rirap” (ya colocado en su lugar) tenga estabilidad dinámica. Las reglas de la operación de la compuerta proveen un sistema de soporte de decisión para poder manejar eficientemente y de manera segura manejar los flujos del Río para control de inundaciones. en_US
