Rectangular Contracted Weir. This calculates the water flow rate over a rectangular contracted weir. This weir has a rectangular opening where the sides are straight up and down. A contracted weir means that the ditch or canal leading up to the weir is wider than the weir opening itself. The water before the weir should be held in a relatively calm and smooth pool In any hydropower projects the diversion structures occupies the key position. Among these diverging structures weir is the most commonly used structure, because of its simple design and operation. Different types of weir can be used as diverging structures some of them are given below: Sharp crested weir Broad crested weir Ogee weir Tyrolean weir weir with lateral intake et Rectangular Weir Equation. The Kindsvater-Carter rectangular weir equation (ISO, 1980): The sum b+K b is called effective width and the sum h+K h is called effective head. The value for g is 9.8066 m/s 2 and K h =0.001 m. C e is a function of b/B and h/P, and K b is a function of b/B
weir is raised by vacuum above the general water level below the weir. Thin-edged weir and sharp-crested^ weir are used to designate a weir in which the nappe, or overfalling sheet, touches only the smooth, sharp upstream corner or edge of the crest, the thickness o Weirs are structures consisting of an obstruction such as a dam or bulkhead placed across the open channel with a specially shaped opening or notch. The flow rate over a weir is a function of the head on the weir. Common weir constructions are the rectangular weir, the triangular or v-notch weir, and the broad-crested weir The Excel templates that can be downloaded from this article will each serve as a rectangular weir flow calculator. One of the Excel templates is for suppressed rectangular weir flow calculations and the other is for contracted. In each case we provide two different weir equations. If specified conditions are not met then the result from the more complicated equation gives the best estimate
USBR (1997) suggests using the V-notch weir equations for the following conditions: Head (h) should be measured at a distance of at least 4h upstream of the weir. It doesn't matter how thick the weir is except where water flows over the weir through the V. The weir should be between 0.03 and 0.08 inches (0.8 to 2 mm) thick in the V 90° Triangular Notch Weirs. This calculates the flow rate over a 90° triangular notch weir. The opening to this weir is a 90 degree triangular notch. The bottom of the notch is the lowest point with the sides going up at 45 degree angles. The water before the weir should be held in a relatively calm and smooth pool. There should be air. Weirs. Weir is defined as a barrier over which the water flows in an open channel. The edge or surface over which the water flows is called the crest. The overflowing sheet of water is the nappe. If the nappe discharges into the air, the weir has free discharge. If the discharge is partly under water, the weir is submerged or drowned Design of weir. Prakash Byanju.

The Advanced Weir Design uses the methodology described in HEC-22 Manual. The weir flow is determined as: Q = C w L H 0.5 for the Rectangular Weir without Contracted End Q = C w (L - 0.2 H) 0.5 for the Rectangular Weir with Contracted End where: Q = discharge, ft 3 /s (m 3 /s) C w = weir coefficient, 3.33 in English units (1.84 in Metric units design flow π = 3.14 R = Radius of crest rounding in ft (See Figure 6‐6.1) d = Diameter of circular inlet or length of side of square box inlet, in feet Table 6‐6.2 may be used to obtain weir flow capacities for water level control structures 3 4.

Generally, for Department design, this ratio should be less than 1.4 such that the inlet operates as a weir. Anchor: #BMUDBINK If the depth of flow in the gutter (y) is less than or equal to 1.4 times the inlet opening height (h), ( ), determine the length of inlet required considering weir control The programs online_vee_notch1 and online_vee_notch2 calculate the discharge through a V-notch weir (Fig. 1). Two types of V-notch weirs are considered: (1) a fully contracted weir, and (2) a partially contracted weir. A fully contracted weir is defined as that for which the ratio H/B ≤ 0.2. A partially contracted weir is that for which the ratio H/B ≤ 0.4 L = weir length Detention Pond Size Estimation: Example for single design storm • The rectangular weir equation is: • Q o =3.2L w H w 1.5 Where q o = peak outflow discharge (cfs) L w = weir crest length (ft) H w = head over weir crest (ft) •H w and q o are computed as follows: H w = E max - weir crest elevation = 105.7 - 100.0 = 5.7 ft
RE: concrete weir design, like a retaining wall, but only water LCruiser (Civil/Environmental) 17 Jul 08 19:19 You can't consider the weight of the water as a surcharge unless the material below is free draining and will never be submerged, and the permeability of the material beside it is very low 4. Splitter Weir A weir is constructed in the bottom of a storm drain facility, often an inlet, to divert flows to a low flow pipe. The weir is sized to divert the required WQV. B. Flow Splitting Design There are two general methods used to achieve flow splitting; Storage Method and Flow Restriction Method. 1. Storage Metho A space is left open at the upstream face of the baffle so any accumulations of weeds and debris can be removed. Design and construction details for the 5- and 12-ft 3 /s weir boxes are given in Aisenbrey et al. (1978). (c) Broad-Crested Weirs. A broad-crested weir is a raised overflow crest, commonly a flat horizontal block
A weir is a device used to measure wastewater flow See Image Weir overflow rate (or weir loading rate) is the amount of water leaving the settling tank per linear foot of water. The result of this calculation can be compared with design. Normally, weir overflow rates of 10,000 to 20,000 gal/day/ft are used in the design of a settling tank Water Control Structures.

Calculate channel protection volume and design orifice V notch weir design: calculations. There are several standard sizes for V notch weir design. We tend to opt for 28º4′ and 53º8′ and 90º, depending on flow rate. These sizes can be calculated using the BSI equation. For higher flows we use a rectangular notch rather than a V notch
V notch weir is a type of flow gauge used in measuring water flow especially for V shaped or triangular shaped open channel. It is especially useful in measuring low flow rate and its denoted by symbol 'q'.

A weir / w ɪər / or low head dam is a barrier across the width of a river that alters the flow characteristics of water and usually results in a change in the height of the river level. They are also used to control the flow of water for outlets of lakes, ponds, and reservoirs. There are many weir designs, but commonly water flows freely over the top of the weir crest before cascading down. weir is one of the most precise discharge measuring devices suitable for a wide range of flow. In international literature, the V-notch sharp-crested-weir is frequently re- ferred to as the 'T weir'. The weir is shown diagrammatically in Figures 5.6 and 5.1

Note, there is a larger 'U-shaped' notch in the middle of the overflow which is 26mm tall x 29mm wide. I used some drill bits to determine the radius of the notches. The larger notch required a 1 1/8 bit and the smaller weir teeth required a 1/4 bit. There are 75 total weir teeth plus the larger notch. Thanks A weir is a small dam built across a river to control the upstream water level. Weirs have been used for ages to control the flow of water in streams, rivers, and other water bodies. Unlike large dams which create reservoirs, the goal of building a weir across a river isn't to create storage, but only to gain some control over the water level

A rectangular weir has a notch of simple rectangular shape, as the name implies. A Cippoletti weir is much like a rectangular weir, except that the vertical sides of the notch have a 4:1 slope (rise of 4, run of 1; approximately a 14 degree angle from vertical). A V-notch weir has a triangular notch, customarily measuring either 60 or 90 degrees Engineering ToolBox - Resources, Tools and Basic Information for Engineering and Design of Technical Applications! - search is the most efficient way to navigate the Engineering ToolBox!

Getting the flow into the pipe may require significantly higher headwater depth. Add at least 1.5 times the velocity head to get the headwater depth or see my 2-minute tutorial for standard culvert headwater calculations using HY-8.. Please give us your valued words of suggestion or praise If the weir flow is over the roadway approaches to the bridge, a value of 3.0 (1.66 for metric units) would be consistent with available data. If weir flow occurs as a combination of bridge and roadway overflow, then an average coefficient (weighted by weir length) could be used The weir notch must be long enough to allow the peak flow associated with the 10-year storm to pass without the water rising high enough that the top of the berm is reached. To determine the appropriate length of weir notch to pass the 10-year storm, the weir equation can be applied. The weir equation is as follows: Equation 3-9: Weir Equation.
Any excess volume will flow over the weir and continue downstream. As the inflow subsides, the storage may be emptied by exfiltration , and/or a low-flow outlet device. To avoid the complexity of using two ponds (the diversion pond and the storage volume), plus a possible reversing flow , this situation can often be modeled as a single pond. Design of Sedimentation Basins Typical weirs consist of 90 V notches. The length calculated from the weir overflow rate is the total length, not the length over which flow occurs. A compilation of typical surface overflow rates, weir overflow rates, and detention times which have been used in water treatment are presented in table below rather than over the weir. While simple to construct, the pool and weir is sensitive to fluctuating water levels and requires adjustments. The water level drop between pools is usually set at 300 mm for adult salmon and 200 mm for adult freshwater fish. Weir fishways usually have a slope of 10%. Figure 2.3 Weir Fishwa Design Details. Detention period: for plain sedimentation: 3 to 4 h, and for coagulated sedimentation: 2 to 2.5 h. Velocity of flow: Not greater than 30 cm/min (horizontal flow). Tank dimensions: L:B = 3 to 5:1.

At its simplest, a weir box is a fabricated channel into which a weir plate has been installed.. The body of the weir box serves as the upstream weir pool through which water flows prior to spilling over the weir plate. In the weir pool, flow conditioners (under / over flow baffles, flow tranquilizers, and energy absorbers) can be installed to slow, straighten, normalize, or otherwise. The solution which answers these requirements is the design of a labyrinth spillway characterized by a crest with broken axis in plan which is quite agreed for cases where the width of the weir is limited by the topography of the terrain for the new dams or by the width of the existing weir in the event of readaptation of an existing spillway Broad-Crested Weir . The overtopping discharge coefficient C d is a function of the submergence using the equation: . The variables K t and C r are defined in the following figures, reproduced from the manual FHWA, HDS No.5, Hydraulic Design of Highway Culverts, 1985. The first two figures are used by Subsurface Utilities to derive the base weir coefficient Cr resulting from deep and shallow.
