Performance of Slit Weir
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 132, Issue 9
Abstract
Slit weirs designed to measure small discharges in open channel flows are investigated. Experimental data available in the literature are added to study the effect of the slit width. An explicit relation for the discharge coefficient is obtained by a conventional Reynolds number definition. The discharge coefficient is modified to increase the working range of slit weirs for small values of head to slit-width ratios.
