As probable maximum flood flows are updated for existing spillways, modifications or
replacement of the existing spillway are often required to increase discharge capacity …

The labyrinth spillway continues to be a popular type of the control structures. The focus of
the present study is that on the optimization of the shape of the labyrinth spillway through the …

The present study attempted to improve the discharge capacity of oblique weirs by rounding
their crests. Twenty-four oblique weir models have been tested in which oblique angle (α) …

The energy of flow can be defined in general form as a measure of an object's capability to
perform work, and it can be done in many different forms. The present study aims to …

Flow discharge over an OBLIQUE WEIR is greater than that over a straight or plain weir for
the same water head due to its extra length with respect to the channel width or fully …

Triangular labyrinth weirs are nonlinear weirs used to control and pass the required
discharge with low afflux in case of limited width saving the upstream countryside and costly …

In this investigation, the characteristics of free flow over normal and oblique weirs with
semicircular crests are studied experimentally. For this purpose, forty eight weir models were …

Oblique weirs are those weirs placed at an angle with respect to the channel centerline.
They can be used in canal applications where more discharge is needed, but there is limited …

Hydraulic engineers are always seeking solutions to increase the flow rate capacity of weirs
in order to overpass and regulate large flow rates with low upstream afflux, preventing the …

The present paper aims to study the mechanization of detention and release processes
when a rectangular gabion weir is used in lined irrigation canals as the preliminary solution …
