In this study, the flow characteristics have been investigated by measuring separation zone, surface and velocity profiles over the circular crested side weirs. An equation was proposed for the length of the separation zone using dimensional, statistical and regression analysis. The dimensional analysis showed that the length of separation zone depends on the upstream to the downstream water de...

The combined system of gate and weir is used for flow measurement in open channels. But in case the passing water has floating material and sediment it damages their performance and hence error of measurement will increase. In order to solve this problem, weir and gate can be combined and a concentrated hydraulic system known as weir-gate can be developed, thus allowing sediments transportation...

Side weirs as flow diversion devices are usually used as emergency weirs in large hydraulic structures like dams and irrigation and drainage networks, because of their importance they require delicate design. As a result application of numerical and simulation models play an important role in design of these hydraulic structures. In this research, the flow pattern and shear stress distribution ...

Recently pianokey weirs become important in hydraulic structures. In this paper effect of the number of cycles on the flow of pianokey sideweir has been investigated experimentally. 45 experiments on single, two, four, six cycles pianokey and sharp crest linear weir on different heads (H/P = 0.3, 0.5, 0.65, 0.85 and 1) has been conducted. The input flow rate to the main channel was applied in s...
