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 impacts of large dams on the hydrology and ecology of river systems are well understood, yet the impacts of low-head structures are poorly known. While impacts of small weirs on upstream-migrating fish have long been mitigated by fish ladders, it is assumed that downstream migration of surface-oriented fishes is unaffected under natural flow regimes. To test this, the effects of low-head we...

bendway weirs are an important tool in multi-purpose erosion control and are implemented to control erosion, restore streams, and improve habitat. these structures create a hydraulic effect that reduces erosion on the outer bank of a bend by reducing flow velocities near the outer bank and reduce the concentration of currents on the outer bank creating better current alignment through the bend....

Labyrinth Weir (LW) is a popular control structure that passes significantly higher flow rate compared to the linear weirs. In order approach optimal design of trapezoidal LW, multi-objective problem defined concurrently minimize LW consumed concrete volume and maximize its discharge capacity. Simultaneously, Radial Basis function Neural Networks (RBFNN) designed used for estimating coefficient...

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...

The inner ear is composed of the membranous labyrinth and the osseous labyrinth (1). The membranous labyrinth has two major subdivisions, a sensory portion called the sensory labyrinth and a nonsensory portion designated the nonsensory labyrinth. The sensory labyrinth lies within the petrous portion of the temporal bone. It contains two intercommunicating portions: 1) the cochlear labyrinth tha...
