The piano key (PK) weir has advanced over the labyrinth weir to increase the discharge
capacity. Piano key weirs exhibit nonlinear flow behavior and are easy to place on the …

Weirs are a commonly used system to adjust water surface level and to control the flow in
canals and hydraulic structures. Labyrinth weirs are a type of weirs that can pass through a …

Labyrinth weirs present an effective solution for high discharge efficiency in space-restrictive
situations. However, these weirs exhibit negative effects (vibrations, noise, and instability) …

Labyrinth weirs are complex hydraulic structures. They have been widely used as a water
regulator and to increase discharge in channels and spillway dams. Labyrinth weirs are an …

Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes
containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the …

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 …

Labyrinth weirs increase the discharge rate by increasing the effective length of the weir
within a confined width. In this paper, an attempt was made to improve the hydraulic …

Labyrinth weirs are mainly used to increase the discharge capacity. The current study adds
a new performance to labyrinth weirs as an energy dissipator. The labyrinth weirs' zigzag …

In the present research, the reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) of labyrinth weirs
has been investigated. The optimization problem is formulated such that the optimal shape …

Labyrinth weirs are commonly used to increase the capacity of existing spillways and
provide more efficient spillways for new dams due to their high specific discharge capacity …
