Labyrinth weirs are utilized to transport a greater discharge during floods in contrast conventional due their increased weir crest length. Nevertheless, the geometric complexity of labyrinth weirs, determination accurate coefficients and accordingly, head-discharge ratings quite essential issues practical application. Hence, as first step present study proposes following eight standalone algor...

Andean ecosystems provide important hydrological services for downstream communities. Due to this importance, several studies have been carried out in recent years, with emphasis on processes identification and land use change impacts. In studies, but also the operation of small-scale irrigation drinking water projects, small streams equipped compound, sharp-crested weirs discharge estimation. ...

Different flow-altering methods, such as W−Weirs, have been developed to reduce erosion. For this study, we performed two experiments: (1) installing a W−Weir in various positions determine the best angle for placement, and (2) investigating variation of flow patterns bed shear stress distribution 90-degree sharp bend by measuring 3D components velocities, with without where greatest scour dept...

The current investigation evaluated the discharge coefficient of a combined compound rectangular broad-crested-weir (BCW) gate (Cdt) using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling approach and soft computing models. First, CFD was applied to experimental data 61 BCW gates were numerically simulated by resolving Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations stress turbulence Then, six data-driven...
