Experimental study of determining the discharge coefficient relationship of trapezoidal Piano Key Weirs and sensitivity of effective parameters in it
Piano Key Weirs, a developed scheme of labyrinth weirs. In this study, 36 trapezoidal Piano Key Weirs models were conducted in 360 different geometric and hydraulic conditions. Experiments were conducted in a 11 m long flume with a rectangular cross section of 49 cm width and 70 cm height in which the effect of dimensionless ratios on the discharge coefficient was investigated. The results show...
متن کاملA laboratory investigation on the potential of computational intelligence approaches to estimate the discharge coefficient of piano key weir
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...
متن کاملComparison of Hydraulic Performance of Linear and Nonlinear Piano-Key Weirs in Plan
In this research, by using FLOW3D, the performance of non-linear (arced) piano key (PKW-NL) in plan and linear piano key weir (PKW-L), with equal length of weir, was compared. Results showed that nonlinearity of the weir caused 20% increase in the discharge coefficient. Investigating the velocity contours for these two weir models also showed that maximum velocity within the PKW-NL weir structu...
متن کاملِِDischarge Coefficient in Oblique Side Weirs
Side weirs are flow diversion devices that are widely used in irrigation, drainage and urban sewage systems. The present study focuses on the investigation of the effect of oblique side weirs on the discharge coefficient of a side weir under subcritical flow condition in rectangular channels. In this study 106 laboratory tests were conducted and the results were analyzed to find out the influen...
متن کاملHydraulic design of A-type Piano Key Weirs
Piano Key Weirs (PKWs) are an alternative to linear overflow structures, increasing the unit discharge for similar heads and spillway widths. Thus, they allow to operate reservoirs with elevated supply levels, thereby providing additional storage volume. As they are relatively novel structures, few design criteria are available. Hence, physical model tests of prototypes are required. This study...
