Abstract The circular crested weir (CCW) has been introduced as weirs having a high discharge coefficient (Cd). ratio of flow head to the radius crest ( H / R ) is most important parameter affecting Cd, that $${\text{Cd}} \approx a\left( {H/R} \right)^{b}$$ Cd ? a <mml:m...

different construction materials with different roughness used to make circular weirs highly affect surface roughness and, in turn, flow hydraulics passing over these structures.  in the present research, numerous experiments under different hydraulic conditions were performed on a physical model to study the effects of roughness on flow hydraulics over a circular weir. the flow hydraulics incl...

Current ecological surveys for great crested newts are time-consuming and expensive and can only be carried out within a short survey window. Additional survey methods which would facilitate the detection of rare or protected species such as the great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) would be extremely advantageous. Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis has been utilized for the detection of great...

Experimental studies to investigate the depth of the scour conducted at a side-weir intersection located at the 180 curved flume which located Hydraulic Laboratory of Yıldız Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey. Side weirs were located at the middle of the straight part of the main channel. Three different lengths (25, 40 and 50 cm) and three different weir crest height (7, 10 and 12 cm) of t...

In this study an extensive experimental research is carried out to develop a better understanding of the effects of Piano Key (PK) weir geometry on weir flow threshold submergence. Experiments were conducted in a 12 m long, 0.4 m wide and 0.7 m deep rectangular glass wall flume. The main objectives were to investigate the effect of the PK weir geometries including the weir length, weir height, ...

This experimental study analyzes submerged hydraulic jumps generated in a 1.05-m wide stilling basin that receives overflow rectangular impinging jets, with the vertical distance between sharp-crested weir and bottom of plunge pool being 2.20 m. Five downstream non-developed nappe jets were analyzed, falling distances to break-up length ratios 0.76 0.78. The impingement velocity range was from ...

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...

one of the most important discharge control ways in hydraulic structures is side weir which is used in irrigation, water distribution, waste-water engineering, drainage, flood control and other water related projects.in order to increases cm value and control on water surface when there is restriction in the weir length(l), side weir with different geometry is used. in present research seventhl...
