Sharp crested rectangular weirs used for discharge measurement
purposes in open channel hydraulics are investigated experimentally. A series
of experiments were conducted by measuring discharge and head over the
weir for different weir heights for full width weir. It is seen that after a certain
weir height, head and discharge relation does not change. Hence a constant
weir height is determined. For that height / discharge and head over the weir
are measured for variable weir width, starting from the full width weir to slit
weir. Description of the discharge coefficient valid for the full range of weir
widths and an empirical expression involving dimensionless flow variables is
aimed. Experimental data obtained for this purpose and the results of the
regression analysis performed are represented.
