Abstract
Side weirs are widely used for flow control and diversion. Although many studies on sub- and supercritical flows along these weirs have been conducted, only a few research studies have considered the generation of a hydraulic jump along the side weir. Spatially varied flow including a hydraulic jump along the rectangular side weir is studied in this paper. Experimental data for different weir geometries and hydraulic conditions are analysed. Based on the experimental results, new equations for estimating the jump length, the ratio of the conjugate depths and the discharge coefficient are presented. Also, the head loss due to the presence of a hydraulic jump is studied. Furthermore, a numerical model is developed for coupling the water surface profile with a hydraulic jump along the side weir. In this model the lateral outflow momentum is considered, which has been mostly ignored in previous works. The model predicts the location of the hydraulic jump. A comparison of the numerical and experimental results indicates good agreement.
