Abstract
Seven hundred ninety-seven field-measured data points were collected to calibrate multiple parallel radial gates. Data were collected from three control structures (i.e., Al-Tawfiki, Al-Menoufi, and Abasi regulators), which are located in the Delta
irrigation district of Egypt. Upstream and downstream water depths, gate opening size, and flow discharge was measured at each structure. Additionally, previous calibration methods were reviewed and evaluated. Dimensional analysis with application of the incomplete self-similarity concept demonstrated the best results for the study area. Based on the field measurement data, a simple formula that implicitly considers the discharge coefficient is proposed for estimating the flow rate through submerged parallel radial gates
