HYDRAULIC PERFORMANCE OF A STORMWATER FACILITY OUTFALL STRUCTURE

This report details a performance analysis of a new outlet control structure proposed for use by the Florida Department of Transportation. This attenuator comprises a skimmer and weir, enclosed in standard precast elements, to protect against mowing accidents and vandalism. An analysis of the hydraulic performance of the attenuator was formulated and compared to a one-quarter scale physical model study. These results were then used to predict full scale performance.
