Head for Broad Crested Weir Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Head on Upstream of Weir = (Total Head+Additional Head)
H_Upstream = (H+h_a)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Head on Upstream of Weir - (Measured in Meter) - Head on Upstream of Weirr pertains to the energy status of water in water flow systems and is useful for describing flow in hydraulic structures.
Total Head - (Measured in Meter) - Total Head is the combination of weir crested and additional head.
Additional Head - (Measured in Meter) - Additional Head is the applied head due to the velocity of approach.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Head: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required
Additional Head: 5.01 Meter --> 5.01 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H_Upstream = (H+h_a) --> (5+5.01)

Evaluating ... ...

H_Upstream = 10.01

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10.01 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

10.01 Meter <-- Head on Upstream of Weir

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Discharge over Broad Crested Weir

LaTeX Go Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir = Length of Weir Crest*Critical Depth of Weir*sqrt((2*[g])*(Total Head-Critical Depth of Weir))

Velocity of Flow given Head

LaTeX Go Velocity of Fluid for Weir = sqrt((2*Acceleration due to Gravity)*(Total Head-Critical Depth of Weir))

Critical Depth due to Reduction in Area of Flow Section given Total Head

LaTeX Go Critical Depth of Weir = Total Head-(Velocity of Fluid for Weir^2/(2*Acceleration due to Gravity))

Total Head above Weir Crest

LaTeX Go Total Head = Critical Depth of Weir+(Velocity of Fluid for Weir^2/(2*Acceleration due to Gravity))

Head for Broad Crested Weir Formula

LaTeX Go

Head on Upstream of Weir = (Total Head+Additional Head)
H_Upstream = (H+h_a)
