The Design of Compound Critical Sections for open Channel Flow Measuresurement

Abstract

<p> Weirs of the conventional shape are amenable to analysis based on an assumption of one-dimensional flow and a number of computational routines have been developed for this type of transition problem. When critical flow occurs in a highly non-uniform section, a more sophisticated approach is necessary. </p> <p> In conjunction with laboratory tests on a typical compound control, a mathematical mode was formulated for the development of the stage-discharge relation. It is felt that this model will allow an accurate prediction for water quantity from fluctuating sources. </p>
