Increase Spillway Capacity using Labyrinth Weir

Determination Discharge Capacity of Triangular Labyrinth Side Weir using Multi-Layer Neural Network (ANN-MLP)

Side weirs are used in open channels to control flood and the flow passing through it. Discharge capacity is one of the crucial hydraulic parameters of side weirs. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the intended dimensionless parameters on predicting the discharge coefficient of triangular labyrinth side weir. MAPE, RMSE, and R2 statistic indexes have been used to assess the ac...

An Experimental Study of the Discharge of the Length Increase Effect on the Composite Trapezoidal Labyrinth Spillway

Labyrinth weirs are the economic structures to increase the weir output efficiency in limited widths, which can be seen in the plane f trapezoidal and triangular forms. These weirs with a hydraulic load and fixed width pass the more discharge in comparison to other type of weirs. In this study, labyrinth weirs trapezoidal in plane form were investigated. The experiments were performed on 27 lab...

Numerical study of flow of labyrinth weir with triangular and curved plan form using Fluent software

Labyrinth weirs have not a straight crest in the perpendicular direction to the flow. The plan view of the weir consists of multiple and broken linear crests that cause the increase of its effective length. The advantages of this type of weirs are higher discharge capacity, easy aeration as well as low fluctuations of water surface at the weir upstream. This paper deals with the simulation of t...

THE DISTRIBUTION OF HYDRAULIC EERGY IN WEIR FLOW WITH RELATION TO SPILLWAY DESIGN by

Numerical Investigation of Geometric Parameters Effect of the Labyrinth Weir on the Discharge Coefficient

Weirs, as overflow structures, are extensively used for the measurement of flow, its diversion and control in the open canals. Labyrinth weir due to more effective length than conventional weirs, allows passing more discharge in narrow canals. Determination the design criteria for the practical application of these weirs need more investigation. Weir angle and its position relative to the flow ...
