How to operate the lock

  1. Begin at the lower reach. With the lower gate open, choose “Enter chamber”.
  2. Secure the lower gate. Wait until the barge has stopped, then close the gate.
  3. Raise the water. Open the filling valve; the model follows Q = CdA√(2gΔh). Wait until 3.55 m.
  4. Equalize and depart. Close the filling valve, open the upper gate, then choose “Depart upstream”.
  5. Finish safely. Close the upper gate. Alternatively use “Run cycle” to automate every step.

Interlocks prevent opening a gate against unequalized head or opening the opposing gate/valve. Use mouse or touch to orbit; pinch/scroll to zoom. Space pause, R reset, A automatic sequence.
