Curved weirs boost water flow by 40% - revolutionizing open channels!
The article explores how curved weirs can improve water flow in channels compared to traditional straight weirs. By testing different angles of curved weirs in a rectangular channel, researchers found that a curved weir with a 90-degree angle can increase water discharge by 40% compared to a straight weir. This means curved weirs can handle more water flow efficiently. The study also provides equations to calculate water flow for different curved weir designs.
