Contraction Ratios for Weir and Flume Designs
Publication: Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering
Volume 113, Issue 3
Abstract
A new approach to the design of flumes and weir for open channels is developed. The approach is based on matching the flume to approach channel conditions thus providing an appropriate Froude number in the approach channel for the passage of sediment and for producing a stable readable water surface at the head measurement station. The procedure is graphical and is applicable to approach sections and control sections of any shape.
