Abstract: Aeration of water downstream of weirs is caused by air being carried by the overfalling jet into the downstream receiving pool. The air entrainment characteristics of straight weirs have been measured and analyzed by a ...

Abstract: Side weirs, also known as lateral weirs, are flow diversion devices widely used in irrigation as a head regulator of distributaries and escapes, land drainage, and urban sewage systems. The studies on the subject have been ...

Abstract: Greater or more constant discharge can be achieved at lower upstream water depths over the weir crest by increasing the effective lengths of labyrinth side weirs. Labyrinth weirs have unevenly shaped crests, resulting 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 ...
