  2. Weir - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weir

    A polynomial weir is a weir that has a geometry defined by a polynomial equation of any order n. [11] In practice, most weirs are low-order polynomial weirs. The standard rectangular weir is, for example, a polynomial weir of order zero. The triangular (V-notch) and trapezoidal weirs are of order one. High-order polynomial weirs are providing ...

  3. Hydraulic jumps in rectangular channels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_Jumps_in...

    Hydraulic jump in a rectangular channel, also known as classical jump, is a natural phenomenon that occurs whenever flow changes from supercritical to subcritical flow. In this transition, the water surface rises abruptly, surface rollers are formed, intense mixing occurs, air is entrained, and often a large amount of energy is dissipated.

  4. Hydraulic jump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_jump

    Figure 4: An undular front on a tidal bore. At this point the water is relatively deep and the fractional change in elevation is small. A tidal bore is a hydraulic jump which occurs when the incoming tide forms a wave (or waves) of water that travel up a river or narrow bay against the direction of the current. [16]

  5. Open-channel flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-channel_flow

    In fluid mechanics and hydraulics, open-channel flow is a type of liquid flow within a conduit with a free surface, known as a channel. [1] [2] The other type of flow within a conduit is pipe flow.

  6. Tilting weir - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilting_weir

    The different technical problems that an engineer faces during the design of a moveable weir including load assessments dynamic water pressure, wind wave tide, snow, ice, etc. and strength assessment of steel and concrete structures and static and dynamic floating stability assessment.

  7. Parshall flume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parshall_flume

    Parshall flume submerged flow example problem: Using the Parshall flume flow equations and Tables 1-3, determine the flow type (free flow or submerged flow) and discharge for a 36-inch flume with an upstream depth, Ha of 1.5 ft and a downstream depth, H b of 1.4 ft. For reference of locations H a and H b, refer to Figure 1.

  8. Block-stacking problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block-stacking_problem

    The first nine blocks in the solution to the single-wide block-stacking problem with the overhangs indicated. In statics, the block-stacking problem (sometimes known as The Leaning Tower of Lire (Johnson 1955), also the book-stacking problem, or a number of other similar terms) is a puzzle concerning the stacking of blocks at the edge of a table.

  9. Floodgate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floodgate

    The force on a rectangular flood gate can be calculated by the following equation: = where: F = force measured in newtons (N) p = pressure = measured in pascal (Pa) where: ρ is the density of fresh water (1000 kg/m 3); g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth (9.8 m/s 2);
