Paper Summary

The researchers used computer simulations to study how different shapes of sharp crested weirs affect the flow of water. They found that rectangular weirs have the highest discharge coefficient, while triangular weirs have the lowest. This information can help in choosing the right weir shape for specific hydraulic needs.
