Discharge with Velocity of Approach Formula

LaTeX Go

What is velocity of approach?

It is defined as the velocity with which the water approaches or reaches the weir or notch before it flows over it.

What is discharge over a rectangular notch?

The discharge through a weir or notch is directly related to the water depth or head (H). This head is affected by the condition of the crest, the contraction, the velocity of the approaching stream, and the elevation of the water surface downstream from the weir.

How to Calculate Discharge with Velocity of Approach?

Discharge with Velocity of Approach calculator uses Discharge = 2/3*Coefficient of Discharge*Length of Weir*sqrt(2*[g])*((Initial Height of Liquid+Final Height of Liquid)^(3/2)-Final Height of Liquid^(3/2)) to calculate the Discharge, The Discharge with velocity of approach formula is known by considering the initial height of liquid over the notch and then the final height is equal to ha and the discharge over a rectangular weir is given by the velocity of approach. Discharge is denoted by Q' symbol.

How to calculate Discharge with Velocity of Approach using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Discharge with Velocity of Approach, enter Coefficient of Discharge (C_d), Length of Weir (L_w), Initial Height of Liquid (H_i) & Final Height of Liquid (H_f) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Discharge with Velocity of Approach calculation can be explained with given input values -> 150112.4 = 2/3*0.8*25*sqrt(2*[g])*((186.1+0.17)^(3/2)-0.17^(3/2)).
