Laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate the hydraulic characteristics of full-cycle cosine and rectangular sharp-crested weirs in free flow condition. The head–discharge relationships determined theoretically discharge coefficients correlated with weir geometry for both rigid erodible bed conditions. proposed model showed higher comparison weirs. three-dimensional velocity profil...

Basic experiments were conducted on a large-size broad-crested weir with a rounded corner. Detailed free-surface, velocity, and pressure measurements were performed for a range of flow conditions. The results showed the rapid flow distribution at the upstream end of the weir and next to the weir brink at large flow rates. The flow properties above the crest were analyzed taking into account the...

The modeling of broad crested weirs is expected to facilitate understanding, especially the behavior flow flowing through measuring instrument. under consideration hydraulic behavior, measurement accuracy, and discharge curve. In addition, there a relationship between water level upstream downstream spillway, as well variation loss energy height. From results this study, it was found that upstr...

Abstract This paper explores the ability of multivariate adaptive regression splines, decision trees, Gaussian processes, and multiple non-linear equation approaches to predict aeration efficiency at various weirs discusses their results. In total, 126 experimental observations were collected in laboratory, which 88 arbitrarily selected for model training, rest used validation. Various graphica...

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...
