Labyrinth weirs increase water flow capacity in narrow canals.
The study looked at how the shape of a labyrinth weir affects how much water it can handle. By using computer simulations and experiments, the researchers found that the angle and height of the weir play a big role in how well it works. They discovered that taller weirs can handle more water, and that labyrinth weirs perform better than traditional sharp-crested weirs. The results showed that for low water levels, the flow capacity is good, but it decreases when the water level gets higher. Overall, the study found that labyrinth weirs are more efficient at handling water flow in narrow canals compared to regular weirs.
