Open Channel Flow
Weir: Problem Solving
Description
Water flow in open channels is often measured using hydraulic structures such as weirs, which allow precise calculation of discharge. In a rectangular channel, flow rates are measured using three types of weirs: rectangular sharp-crested, triangular sharp-crested, and broad-crested. The weir head is set at a fixed height...

Transcript
Water flows in a rectangular channel with flow rates between minimum and maximum values. The weir head is set one meter above the channel bottom.
The objective is to measure the flow depth for three types of weirs: rectangular sharp-crested, triangular sharp-crested, and broad-crested...
