measure the flow of a river, and may be sharp edged or have a substantial breadth in the direction of flow.
Weirs are typically installed in open channels such as
Free Flow weir plates and weir boxes are designed for
The measurement of irrigation water; 2. Industrial process discharge; 3. Wastewater treatment plant discharge 4. Holding pond overflow.
1.
weirs. is most commonly a 90 opening with the sides of the notch inclined 45 with the vertical Since the V-notch weir has no crest length, much smaller flows are represented by a given head than for a rectangular weir V-notch weirs should always be used when frequent low flows are included in the overall range to be measured. Other angles used for V-notch weirs are 22 1/2, 30, 45, 60 and 120.

weir
These weirs have a sharp edge so that the water flows freely
discharge is directly related to the water depth (h). h is known as the "head." "suppressed," "partially contracted," or "fully contracted." contractions
10
To get the actual discharge, coefficient of discharge is introduced, CD in order to account for losses at the edges of the weir and contractions in the area of flow

Water flows from a reservoir through a rectangular opening 2m high and 1.2m wide in the vertical face of a dam. Calculate the discharge in cubic meters per second when the free surface in the reservoir is 0.5m above the top of the opening assuming a coefficient of discharge of 0.64.
Answer : Qactual = 8.16 m3/s
12
The relationship between width and depth is dependent on the angle of the V

In an experiment on a 90 vee notch, the flow is collected in a 0.9 m diameter vertical cylindrical tank. It is found that the depth of water increases by 0.685 m in 16.8 s when the head over the notch is 0.2 m. Determine the coefficient of discharge of the notch.
Answer : Cd = 0.613
