The “weir equation” (1) Calculating dam and weir discharge capacity

Описание: The weir equation is a relationship linking the volumetric flow rate above a dam and weir crest to the upstream reservoir elevation and weir crest geometry. In this first video, we show that the expression derives for fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and open channel hydraulics within very strict assumptions.
