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...

Measurement of discharge in open channels is one of the main concerns in hydraulic engineering. The structures used for this aim should be accurate, economical and easy to use. Weirs are among the oldest and most convenient hydraulic structures that have been used in both laboratory and field for flow measurement in open channels. Due to limitations of simple sharp crested weirs, recently compo...

Trapezoidal labyrinth weirs offer significant flow magnification for the available width of approach channel and that of the downstream chute. These types of weirs may find great utility and hence will have to be designed and provided for river linking projects. There are many factors such as head to crest height ratio, angle of side walls, vertical aspect ratio, apex width and approach and con...

circular- crested weirs are employed for flow measurement among their other wide applications in hydraulic engineering. they can also be used to control water level in farm ponds and reservoirs. advantages of the circular crested weirs as compared to other weirs include the stable overflow pattern, the simplicity of design and their associated lower costs. in this study, the curvilinear flow pa...

Recently, many research studies have focused on labyrinth weirs' hydraulic performance, especially as dependent engineering features. In the current study, properties of flow over triangular weirs models (from upper perspective) with sharp crest been experimentally studied and compare their efficiency suppressed rectangular (conventional weirs). Twelve fiberglass are developed for this reason t...
