| Title | Design Considerations for Fixed-Cone Valve with Baffled Hood |
| Creator | Stephens, Dallin P. Johnson, Michael C. Sharp, Zachary B. |
| Description | Fixed-cone valves (FCVs) are practical devices used to regulate flow at dams having medium to high heads. These valves are designed to safely reduce the flow energy by redirecting the pipe flow into a free-discharging conical jet and, under certain circumstances, through a hood or another containment structure to control the conical jet. However, the hood concentrates the jet and, consequently, the remaining energy. A relatively new hood design using baffle blocks has been successful in... |
