introduction: side weir structures are extensively used in hydraulic engineering, irrigation and environmental engineering, and it usually consists of a main weir and a lateral channel. side weirs are also used as an emergency structure. this structure is installed on one side or both sides of the main channel to divert the flow from the main channel to the side channel. lateral outflow takes p...

Orifice-weir structures at ditch outlets are proposed to reduce peak drainage rates during high flows and to store water during the growing season in poorly drained managed pine plantations. Two coastal watersheds, one conventionally drained (D1) and another with an orifice-weir outlet (D3), were monitored to examine the effects of this orifice treatment on drainage outflows and nutrient export...

Weirs, as overflow structures, are extensively used for the measurement of flow, its diversion and control in the open canals. Labyrinth weir due to more effective length than conventional weirs, allows passing more discharge in narrow canals. Determination the design criteria for the practical application of these weirs need more investigation. Weir angle and its position relative to the flow ...

Nowadays, developed and applied hydrology become very important thing in the life due to the wide verity advantages for the applications of this field. Hydraulic Structures such as crump weir are placed in channels to estimate or measure flow rate and flow control devices. In this study there is a new performance for crump weir which appears by adding opening holes in the model  of crump weir. ...

INTRODUCTION The objective of this study is to provide a synthesis of the pertinent design criteria for submerged bendway weirs. The technical paper is an extension of previous research conducted by the National Center for Computational Hydroscience and Engineering (NCCHE) at the University of Mississippi on the hydrodynamic effects on flow characteristics and effectiveness of submerged bendway...

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...

Abstruct.-Behavior and passage rate of smolts of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and juvenile American shad Alma saplrilssima were compared between a standard (sharp-crested) and a modified surface bypass weir that employs uniform flow velocity increase (1 m.s-'.rnP' of linear distance). W i t h the first 30 rnin after release, significantly more smolts passed the modified weir than the standard we...

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...
