Flow Diversion for Side Weir Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Volume Flow Rate = 3.32*Length of Weir^(0.83)*Depth of Flow Over Weir^(1.67)
Q = 3.32*L_weir^(0.83)*h^(1.67)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Volume Flow Rate - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Volume Flow Rate refers to the volume of fluid that passes per unit of time.
Length of Weir - (Measured in Meter) - The Length of Weir refers to the physical length of a weir structure used in water management and control systems.
Depth of Flow Over Weir - (Measured in Meter) - The Depth of Flow Over Weir refers to the total depth of flow over the weir at down-stream end.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length of Weir: 0.6 Meter --> 0.6 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of Flow Over Weir: 0.8 Meter --> 0.8 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q = 3.32*L_weir^(0.83)*h^(1.67) --> 3.32*0.6^(0.83)*0.8^(1.67)

Evaluating ... ...

Q = 1.49680043187199

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.49680043187199 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.49680043187199 ≈ 1.4968 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Volume Flow Rate

What is Weir?

Weir is a low head dam is a barrier across the width of a river that alters the flow characteristics of water and usually results in a change in the height of the river level.

How to Calculate Flow Diversion for Side Weir?

Flow Diversion for Side Weir calculator uses Volume Flow Rate = 3.32*Length of Weir^(0.83)*Depth of Flow Over Weir^(1.67) to calculate the Volume Flow Rate, The Flow diversion for side weir is defined as the flow which takes place in a diversion weir. A diversion weir is a low obstruction that is built across a river or canal to raise the water level, or in parallel to divert the water. Volume Flow Rate is denoted by Q symbol.

How to calculate Flow Diversion for Side Weir using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Flow Diversion for Side Weir, enter Length of Weir (L_weir) & Depth of Flow Over Weir (h) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Flow Diversion for Side Weir calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.4968 = 3.32*0.6^(0.83)*0.8^(1.67).

FAQ

What is Flow Diversion for Side Weir?

The Flow diversion for side weir is defined as the flow which takes place in a diversion weir. A diversion weir is a low obstruction that is built across a river or canal to raise the water level, or in parallel to divert the water and is represented as Q = 3.32*L_weir^(0.83)*h^(1.67) or Volume Flow Rate = 3.32*Length of Weir^(0.83)*Depth of Flow Over Weir^(1.67). The Length of Weir refers to the physical length of a weir structure used in water management and control systems & The Depth of Flow Over Weir refers to the total depth of flow over the weir at down-stream end.

How to calculate Flow Diversion for Side Weir?

The Flow diversion for side weir is defined as the flow which takes place in a diversion weir. A diversion weir is a low obstruction that is built across a river or canal to raise the water level, or in parallel to divert the water is calculated using Volume Flow Rate = 3.32*Length of Weir^(0.83)*Depth of Flow Over Weir^(1.67). To calculate Flow Diversion for Side Weir, you need Length of Weir (L_weir) & Depth of Flow Over Weir (h). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Length of Weir & Depth of Flow Over Weir and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Volume Flow Rate?

In this formula, Volume Flow Rate uses Length of Weir & Depth of Flow Over Weir. We can use 1 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Volume Flow Rate = Area for Siphon Throat*Coefficient of Discharge*(2*Acceleration due to Gravity*Head of Liquid)^(1/2)
