Abstract: Side weirs are used to divert the flow from a main channel to a desired environmental area. These basic hydraulic elements are commonly preferred in drainage and irrigation systems of surface water. Many studies have been ...

Abstract: Physical and mathematical models widely used in hydraulic engineering are not always effective in practice. Numerical methods such as the adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) can be quite useful for estimating the ...

Abstract: Labyrinth side weirs can be preferred for the weirs with same opening instead of the other conventional side weirs. However, the vortex occurring in the cycles of the labyrinth side weirs usually obstruct to overflow in ...

Abstract: A labyrinth weir provides an effective way to increase weir crest length without an associated increase in structure width. Labyrinth side weirs have important advantages compared to conventional side weirs in term of ...
