Abstract: Dividing flows in open channels are commonly encountered in hydraulic engineering systems. They are inherently three-dimensional (3D) in character. Past experimental studies were mostly limited to the collection of test ...

Abstract: In the past, solutions to the problem of flow past a floor slot in a rectangular open channel used to divert flow from one stream to another were obtained mainly on the basis of model tests or through the development of ...

Abstract: Combining flows are encountered often in environmental engineering and hydraulic engineering. Experimental data are available to assist the engineers who need the various loss coefficients associated with combining flows ...

Abstract: In the past, solutions to open channel flow problems involving free surfaces were generally found on the basis of experimental data or through the development of theoretical expressions using simplified assumptions. The ...

Abstract: For steady flow near the free overfall (end section) of a horizontal trapezoidal channel, the velocity distribution is nonuniform and the streamlines are curved. An accurate relation between discharge rate and end depth ...

Abstract: Side weirs are flow-regulating devices commonly encountered in hydraulic engineering. In the past, the discharge coefficient for flow past a side weir was investigated experimentally by many researchers. In this study, a ...

Abstract: Dividing flows in closed conduits (Fig. 1) are encountered often in environmental engineering and hydraulic engineering, while dealing with water and wastewater treatment plants, water distribution ...

Abstract: The slit weir has been recently shown to be effective in measuring very small discharge rates. In this study, the slit weir concept is extended to permit one to measure both very low and very high discharge rates accurately. ...
