Sharp-crested weir head losses investigation

Abstract

The work is devoted to the sharp-crested weir calculation methods improvement. This can be realized by using mathematical model developed on energy and momentum conservation principles. In order to get energy conservation law within sharp-crested weir we need to study head losses and this article presents theoretical and experimental investigations of the sharp-crested weir head losses. The height of the overflow wall св and head H are estimated as main operating factors that determine hydraulic weir outbound parameters: threshold depth h and the specific weir flow q. The flow moving across sharp-crested weir suffers abrupt vertical contraction and transforms from the steady flow to the nappe. The above mentioned causes sharp-crested weir head losses. To determine these losses, we propose to use Hind`s equation that describes similar contraction losses in the channel. Experimental investigations proved Hind`s equation application adequacy to evaluate these losses. An energy equation for sharp-crested weir that include head losses is determined. Graphs set out in the article disclose the influence of the main operating factors and their ratio on the fractional head losses.
