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...

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, ...

The accurate modelling of urban flooding constitutes an integral part flood risk assessment and management in residential industrial areas. Interactions between drainage networks surface runoff flows are commonly modelled based on weir/orifice equations; however, this approach has not been satisfactorily validated unsteady flow conditions due to uncertainties estimating the discharge coefficien...

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...

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...
