Abstract Side weirs are widely used in hydraulic engineering applications. The studies on the subject have been generally focused classical and labyrinth side weirs. However, same is not true for piano key (PKSW) a straight channel. weir (PKW) has high discharge capacity compared with In this study, characteristics of trapezoidal (TPKSW) channels were investigated experimentally. all experiment...

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...

Abstract In this research, the models of Inflatable weirs with internal pressures 0.5 and 1.4 at three heights 0.15, 0.2 0.25 m were constructed. The deflectors used in two geometric sections, including rectangular triangular shapes, they installed angles 30, 45, 60 degrees downstream weir body. results showed that value Cd changes between 0.28 0.35 while range ratio upstream flow head on crest...

in the present study, experimental investigations about the hydrodynamics of the conical cap tray (concap tray) have been carried out. the concap tray is an innovative and novel type of cap trays. the effect of the different weir height (2.5, 5 and 7 cm) on the weeping, entrainment and the total pressure drop for the concap tray was measured, compared and correlated. the hydraulic experiments w...

The piano key weir (PKW) is a type of nonlinear control structure that can be used to increase unit discharge over linear overflow weir geometries, particularly when the weir footprint area is restricted To predict the outflow passing over a piano key weir, the discharge coefficient in the general equation of weir needs to be known. This paper presents the results of laboratory model testing of...
