Abstract
The main flow characteristics of side weirs are presented. In particular, the discussion accounts for the dynamic effects on the lateral outflow intensity, the additional head losses due to the lateral and the frictional effects on the free surface profile. The pseudouniform flow condition is considered in detail. Using typical nondimensional parameters, the general solution for the free surface profiles and the local discharge distribution is presented graphically. The computational procedure is illustrated by examples. Key words: hydraulics, side weir, open channel flow, water distribution, bifurcation.
