Combined Flow over Weir and under Gate
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 135, Issue 3
Abstract
Problems related to sedimentation and deposition can be minimized by using a system where weirs and gates are combined. Given its applications, the hydraulics of simultaneous flow over weir and under gate, in particular, the determination of the stage–discharge relationship, is of interest. Although previous approaches have been based on regression or dimensional analysis, the current work describes a physically based approach. Models of sharp-edged weirs and gates with no lateral contraction are combined. To calibrate and validate the proposed model, experiments have been carried out in a laboratory flume applying different submergence conditions. It was found that the model is able to predict the stage–discharge relationship with reasonable accuracy.
