Among a wide number of gate designs, the socalled standard gate with a vertical gate structure containing a standard crest positioned in an almost horizontal smooth rectangular channel has particular significance in low head applications. Surface roughness of both the channel and the gate is small and thus insignificant. Standard gates are used both in laboratories and in irrigation channels, large sewers or in hydraulic structures. Compared to overflow structures, or in particular to the sharpcrested weir, standard gates have received scarce attention. The knowledge is particularly poor regarding the basic hydraulics, whereas studies relating to vibration of these gates are available. The present project describes new findings on standard gate flow, involving: (1) Scale effects。 (2) Coefficient of discharge。 (4) Features of shock waves。 (6) Bottom and gate pressure distributions。 and (8) Vortex intensities. A novel device to reduce shock waves in the downstream channel is also proposed. 2. Present knowledge The present knowledge on gates was recently summarized by Lewin (1995). There is a short chapter on vertical gates containing some information on discharge and contraction coefficients,with a relatively large scatter of data. This reflects the present state, and gate flow is far from being understood fr
