Abstract: On account of reliability and absence of external power source, baffled channel-type flocculating devices are preferred for class-II settling. In the present practice a feasible design is obtained by trial and error to ...

Abstract: Most of the existing weir formulas lose their significance as the ratios of head to height or head to width become large. A full range equation valid for all values of head-to-height ratio has been developed for a sharp ...

Abstract: Sluice‐gate discharge coefficient is an involved function of geometric and hydraulic parameters. For free flow, it is related to upstream depth and gate opening, whereas for submerged flow, in addition to these parameters, ...

Abstract: Normal depth is an important parameter occurring in the design of irrigation canals. Direct analytic solution of normal‐depth problems is not possible, as the governing equations for the practical canal sections are implicit. ...

Abstract: The minimum area, or the maximum velocity cross section, is generally adopted for lined irrigation canals. Such a section is economically most efficient because it involves the least amount of earthwork and the least lining ...

Abstract: The lognormal distribution is frequently used in hydrological studies. However, the distribution is in the form of an integral that cannot be expressed in the form of elementary functions. Thus, the lognormal distribution ...
