A temperature control curtain can effectively mitigate the negative effect of outflow temperature on the river eco-environment downstream. To investigate the response of outflow temperature to influence factors (i.e., installation position of temperature control curtain, submerged depth, temperature distribution, and outflow discharge), experiments were conducted in a nonlinearly stratified fluid. The important degree of influence factors was determined by entropy weight method. The results indicated that the effect extent of influence factors on the outflow temperature was temperature distribution, submerged depth, outflow discharge, and installation position in turn. The installation position had little effect on the outflow temperature. Increasing the outflow discharge could withdraw more warm water near the surface and increase the outflow temperature. The outflow temperature also rose with decreasing submerged depth, and more warm water above the temperature control curtain level tended to be extracted when the submerged depth was enough. Although the outflow temperature increased, its variation amplitude depended on the temperature gradient of temperature distribution and was not affected by the structural form of selective withdrawal. From the point of operation management, the minimum submerged depth was determined using sensitivity analysis to obtain maximum improvement of outflow temperature.
