These are acceptable assumptions for tanks with notches or reservoirs with weirs, but for flows where the velocity approaching the weir flw substantial the kinetic energy must be taken into account e.
Water flow measurement in open channels using weirs and venturi flumes — Part 1: Water surface downstream of the weir should be at least 0. You want to avoid having water cling to the downstream face of the weir. Thus in this case, the effects of sides of the weir is eliminated or suppressed.
This is a satisfactory assumption for flow over a notch or weir in the side of a large reservoir, but, is the notch or weir is placed at the end of a narrow channel, the velocity of approach to the weir will be substantial and the head h producing flow will be increased by the kinetic energy of the approaching liquid to a value. Discharge and Head Calculations, Equations, and Guidelines for water flow measurement in streams and channels. To produce automated calculations, LMNO Engineering used a curve fitting program to obtain the equations which best fit the C and k curves.
A weir is a notch on a larger scale. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. This is an initial check of user input. To make this website work, we log user data and share it with processors. All of the references show similar curves for C and k vs.
If the bulk of the weir is thicker than 0. Available from Global Engineering Documents at http: Units in V-notch weir calculation: As a result, the discharge through the strip will be. Occurs if head is being computed and a very low Q is entered e. Our calculation does not account for partially contracted weirs, but for most practical purposes the difference in C is inconsequential.
Please contact us for consulting or other questions. The equation for flow through trapezoidal notch is obtained from the equations for rectangular and V-notches. As a result, the discharge through the strip will be. Our equations are shown below. All of the references show similar curves for C and k vs.
These are acceptable assumptions for tanks with notches or reservoirs with weirs, but for flows where the velocity approaching the weir is substantial the kinetic energy must be taken into account e. The momentum equation is a statement of Newton. Water surface downstream of the weir should be at qnd 0.
To make further use of this equation we need notchez expression relating the width of flow across the weir to the depth below the free surface.

To produce automated calculations, LMNO Engineering used a curve fitting program to obtain the equations which best fit the C and k curves.
A weir is a notch on a large scale, used, for example, to measure the flow of a river, and may be sharp edged or have a substantial breadth in the direction of flow. It may be sharp crested but also may have a substantial width in the direction of flow — it is used as both a flow measuring device and a device to raise water levels. Measured head h should be greater than 0. Discharge and Head Calculations, Equations, and Guidelines for water flow measurement in streams and channels.
The method of determining the theoretical flow through a notch is the same as that adopted for a large orifice.
Thus in this case, the effects of sides of the weir is eliminated or suppressed. The water level is ensured that it is even with the crest of the weir.
The water flow were adjusted by using the hydraulic bench flow control valve to obtain heads H. This is because the value for the flow rates, Q and the head above bottom of notch, H obtained for both rectangular notch and V-notch are different in each experiment. However, the Cd values of rectangular notch is smaller compared to the Cd values of V-notch.
Calculation below shows the average value of Cd for rectangular notch for the range of the test:- Cd 0. Besides, as the head above bottom notch increases , the Cd values gain also decreases. This shows that, the Cd values is dependent on the value of flow rate, Q and the value of the head above the notch, H.
The Cd values can be obtained from the tangent of the graph on each point plotted. The reason of this error could be because of the reading from the graph is not as accurate as the calculation using formula which lead to about 0.
As the flow rate increases, the discharge coefficient becomes more accurate to the theoretical value. When the flow rate is to low it clings to the notch and flows down it. This changes the coefficient of discharge because now the water is not only being affected by gravity it is having to resist viscosity and the friction of the surface of the notch.
The limitations of the theory is it has to be level so the only force on the water is gravity, there has to be a constant flow, and constant pressure. The theory behind this experiment makes an assumption that there is a minimum height of water above the notch and any heights below this start to deviate from theory at an increasing rate.
The relationship between the head of the weir and the discharge of the water over the weir is directly proportional. Weirs are commonly used to alter the flow of rivers to prevent flooding, measure discharge, and help render rivers navigable.
There are several of recommendations to estimate discharge when using a weirs because it is very important to ensure that all flow enters by travelling over the weir and not around the weir or under the weir. It must be noted that the weir should be extended into the ground to minimize groundwater to pass under the weir.
As long as the flow conditions downstream of the weir do not affect the flow over the weir, a free outfall is maintained. First of all, before doing an experiment it is better to learn and understand first on how to conduct the experiment. Moreover, the result of rectangular-notch and v-notch obtained must be taken in 4 decimal points to get an accurate values.
Errors can never be ignored when it comes to laboratory work. The aim is to reduce the error as much as possible to obtain accuracy in work. Ways to reduce the error are by repeating the experiment for three times or more and then taking the average readings, by being extra cautious during the experiment, by asking more than one person to record the readings and carry out the experiment.
It is important to keep the voice to a minimum while in a laboratory and always listen to the instructor. If any guidelines are needed, then refer to the supervisor. Download PDF.
