introduction: side weir structures are extensively used in hydraulic engineering, irrigation and environmental engineering, and it usually consists of a main weir and a lateral channel. side weirs are also used as an emergency structure. this structure is installed on one side or both sides of the main channel to divert the flow from the main channel to the side channel. lateral outflow takes p...

Trapezoidal labyrinth weirs offer significant flow magnification for the available width of approach channel and that of the downstream chute. These types of weirs may find great utility and hence will have to be designed and provided for river linking projects. There are many factors such as head to crest height ratio, angle of side walls, vertical aspect ratio, apex width and approach and con...

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...

Abstract Side weirs are widely used in hydraulic engineering applications. The studies on the subject have been generally focused classical and labyrinth side weirs. However, same is not true for piano key (PKSW) a straight channel. weir (PKW) has high discharge capacity compared with In this study, characteristics of trapezoidal (TPKSW) channels were investigated experimentally. all experiment...

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...
