side weir is a flow control structure that used extensively in irrigation and drainage as well as sewer networks. throughout the present research, a study comprised of 162 experiments was done on sharp-crested semi-circular side weir. since the height in this side weir varies along its length, this feature enables it to more properly control flood than rectangular side weirs in various flood co...

A detailed experimental laboratory analysis of the effect crest shape on discharge coefficient sharp-crested weirs is presented in paper. The experiments were conducted for four different shapes. and analyses show that capacity, particular, are significantly affected by weir height. It stated conclusion rounded has highest capacity. In practice, sharp crested generally preferred to other shapes...

Weirs have widely been used for the flow measurement, flow diversion and its control in the open channels. Attempts have been made to study flow over different shapes of normal weirs, side weirs and oblique weirs. This paper is connected with the development of the discharge coefficient measurement. In the present study four different weirs in different height are considered for validation purp...

the rectangular broad crested weirs are widely used to measure the water dischargewhich is one of the most popular tools in the irrigation canals particularly, in developingcountries.the present article is trying to demonstrate the results of an experimental work carriedout on rectangular broad crested weir with sloped upstream face to investigate the effect ofupstream slope on discharge effici...

The purpose of this research is examining the performance rectangular broad and sharp crested weirs in terms cavity index discharge coefficient. For purpose, a computational fluid dynamics CFD code FLUENT applied. Firstly, verified by applies on experiments work Hagre et al 1994 results show excellent agreements between Hager 1994. Secondly applied both weirs. demonstrate that have lower coeffi...

abstract weirs are the most common structures for discharge measurement in engineering research. streamline curvature, non hydrostatic pressure distribution on weir and nappe adherence to the weir lead to differences between calculated and measured discharges. thus discharge coefficient, which is the ratio of real and theoretic discharges, is usually less than unity. in circular weirs the press...
