Abstract
An analysis is made of the free outflow of fluid from those underflow gates known as radial or Tainter gates. Attention is focused on a correct treatment of the effects of gate curvature and of gravity on the flow. The rapidly convergent, iterative solution is based on the combined use of conformal mapping and the Riemann-Hilbert solution to a mixed boundary-value problem. A limited comparison with some experimental results shows agreement to be good.Keywords
