Broad-Crested Weir Analysis

Calculation of Afflux and Submerged


Flow Coefficients
Given Information
• • Total Discharge (Q) = 8100 m³/s
• • Weir Length (L) = 492 m
• • Unit Discharge (q) = 16.46 m³/s/m
• • Submerged Discharge Coefficient (C_s) =
1.40
• • Assumed Afflux (h_a) = 0.34 m
• • Total Head (H) = h_c + h_a
Step-by-Step Calculation
• Step 1: Total Head Calculation
• • H = (q / C_s)^(2/3)
• • H = (16.46 / 1.40)^(2/3) = (11.76)^(2/3) =
5.21 m

• Step 2: Free Flow Head (h_c)


• • h_c = (q / C)^(2/3) = (16.46 / 1.53)^(2/3) =
4.87 m
Comparison of Computed Values
• • Total Head (H) = 5.21 m
• • Free Flow Head (h_c) = 4.87 m
• • Afflux (h_a) = 0.34 m (Assumed)
• • Submerged Discharge Coefficient (C_s) =
1.40
• • Unit Discharge (q) = 16.46 m³/s/m
• • C_s / C = 0.915 (from table ≈ 0.907)
Conclusion
• • The assumed afflux (h_a) = 0.34 m is valid.
• • The total head (H) and free-flow head (h_c)
align with the computed values.
• • Submerged flow coefficient and afflux are
consistent with expected results.
• • This analysis provides an accurate reflection
of weir behavior under submergence.
