Weir Type Calculation

This document provides formulas for calculating water flow rates over three types of weirs: horizontal and sharp-edged weirs, broad-crested weirs, and V-notch weirs. The formulas use variables like the weir width, gravitational constant, and height of water over the weir to determine the flow rate in cubic meters per second. Horizontal weirs use the Bazin's formula, broad-crested weirs use an equation involving the height and velocity of water, and V-notch weirs use a similar equation to horizontal weirs.

Weir Type Calculation Horizontal, sharp edged weirs (Bazins formula) Q = 0.66 x cB x (2g)0.66 x H1.

5 where; Q = water flow rate, m3/sec B = width of the weir, metres* c = discharge coefficient, average 0.62 g = gravitational constant, 9.81 H = Height of the water over the weir, measured behind the weir edge, m * Note; if the weir is narrower than the channel feeding it, shorten B by 0.2xH Broad crested (flat topped) weirs Q = 0.35 x B x (2g)0.5 x H1.5 where; Q = water flow rate, m3/sec B = width of the weir, metres g = gravitational constant, 9.81 H = h x (V2)/2g where, h = height of the water over the weir at the discharge edge of the weir, m V = velocity of the stream across the weir crest, m/sec V notch, sharp edged weirs Q = 0.266 x cB x (2g)0.5 x H1.5 where; Q = water flow rate, m3/sec B = width of the weir at the flowing rate c = discharge coefficient, average 0.62
