DISCHARGE RATIO OF THE BROAD-CRESTED WEIR FLOWIN THE LOW HEAD AREA
Pages 167-171
The authors consider the influence of the Reynolds number on the discharge ratio of the broad-crested weir. The authors provide an overview of their experiment in thearticle. They provide the equation that takes account of each factor of influence, including H — pressure over the broad-crested weir, P — weir height above the bottom, v — liquid velocity, ρ — liquid density, μ — dynamic viscosity, g — superficial tension, σ — gravity acceleration, q — per-unit weir flow, B — width of the weir, L — length of the weir. Superficial tension and liquid density values have minor differences for different fluids.A broad-crested weir flow was organized in the rectangular tray (6,000×100×200). The flow had the following dimensions: weir length L = 40 mm, weir height P = 50 mm, weir width B = 100 mm. The findings of the experiment have proven that the increase in the Reynolds number causes the increase in the broad-crested weir flow discharge ratio (at the pre-set relative pressure) and it approaches the constant value at Re ≈ 2000.
