The current standards recommend measuring water discharge with vented thin-plate weirs. The ventilation of full-width, thin-plate weirs during discharge hydrograph measurement still poses a problem. An experimental study regarding the design of a new type of ventilating device for hydrograph measurement was performed from 20 October through 5 December 2015 which proved that this device can be used measuring discharge at ventilated nappe according to standard recommendations. During the second part of the experiment, an opportunity was provided for measuring the discharge at non-ventilated nappe as a function of Reynolds and Weber numbers.

Abstract


The current standards recommend measuring water discharge with vented thin-plate weirs. The ventilation of full-width, thin-plate weirs during discharge hydrograph measurement still poses a problem. An experimental study regarding the design of a new type of ventilating device for hydrograph measurement was performed from 20 October through 5 December 2015 which proved that this device can be used measuring discharge at ventilated nappe according to standard recommendations. During the second part of the experiment, an opportunity was provided for measuring the discharge at non-ventilated nappe as a function of Reynolds and Weber numbers.
