The piano key (PK) weir has advanced over the labyrinth to increase discharge capacity. Piano weirs exhibit nonlinear flow behavior and are easy place on existing spillway or newly constructed dam with less base area. Various investigators given equations calculate coefficient for free submerged conditions. study focuses reviewing impacts of PK geometry coefficient, including length height, ups...

In this contribution, different 3D numerical approaches are applied in order to simulate the behaviour of turbulent flow through a rectangular channel with broad-crested weirs. addition, water velocities, using Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry (ADV) instrumentation, were recorded. Two turbulence quantities estimated laboratory records and compared those computed Large Eddy Simulation (LES) Reynolds...

This paper reviews the work of Keshava Munhy and collaborators in the area of proportional weirs. It brings forlh the lacuna that existed in the theory of weirs and focusses on why there was need a for a generalized theory of ,,"'(irs. It oullines the theorem of slope discharge continuity developed, emphasizing the importance of a datum or reference plane for every weir. It explains briefly the...

This study investigates the impact of cross structures on flood occurrences in mountainous rivers. The governing equations open channel flow were formulated based Saint-Venant equations. was segmented, and a node equation established at each section’s connection point. An overflow model bridges weir dams also developed. physical simplified modeled using actual building data calculation requirem...

weirs have widely been used for the flow measurement, flow diversion and its control in the open channels. attempts have been made to study flow over different shapes of normal weirs, side weirs and oblique weirs. this paper is connected with the development of the discharge coefficient measurement. in the present study four different weirs in different height are considered for validation purp...

For efficient use of water, accurate measurement of flow in (field/laboratory) channels is required for many water resource projects. The present work is aimed to study the flow characteristics of a twin plate weir (two sharp-crested plates are placed one behind the other at some distance) under free and submerged flow conditions. Experiments are performed with four spacing of the twin plate we...

The impacts of large dams on the hydrology and ecology of river systems are well understood, yet the impacts of low-head structures are poorly known. While impacts of small weirs on upstream-migrating fish have long been mitigated by fish ladders, it is assumed that downstream migration of surface-oriented fishes is unaffected under natural flow regimes. To test this, the effects of low-head we...
