Side‐Weir Analysis Using Elementary Discharge Coefficient
Publication: Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering
Volume 120, Issue 4
Abstract
A side weir is a flow diversion device, which is widely used in irrigation as a head regulator of distributaries and escapes. This paper presents a concept for an elementary discharge coefficient that is related to the discharge flowing through an elementary strip along the side‐weir length. Generalized equations for an elementary discharge coefficient for rectangular and triangular side weirs have been proposed. Experimental results show the accuracy of the proposed equations.
