Estimation of Discharge Coefficients for Free-Flowing Compound Weirs with Upstream Horizontal Flow Contraction

Abstract

AbstractCompound weirs have been used as adjustable structures to divert flow, for example, through river branches at the river bifurcations. For this purpose, a wide variety of weir configurations can be used including asymmetric configurations that have ...Practical ApplicationsCompound weirs are used at the river bifurcations to add resistance to one side of the branch and distribute the flow according to the needs of the people. Defining the flow rate as a function of the flow depth by using one-...
