Consider the following measuring structures. A. Submerged broad-crested weir B. Free broad-crested weir C. Free sharp-crested weir D. Free ogee spillway Which is the correct sequence of the discharge coefficient of these structures in increasing order? Correct Answer A, B, C, D

Weir:

It is a low obstruction that is built across a river or canal to raise the water level, or in parallel to divert the water. The weir are widely used to measure the rate of flow.

On the basis of the shape of the crest weirs are 4 types:

  1. Sharp – crested weir
  2. Broad – crested weir
  3. Narrow – crested weir
  4. Ogee – shaped weir

Submerged weirs have lesser coefficient of discharge compared to free weir.

For ogee spillway,

Cd = 1.19 × Cds

Cds = Discharge coefficient for sharp-crested weir

Hence the correct sequence of the value of the coefficient of discharge for different weir in increasing order is as follows;

Submerged broad-crested weir < Free broad-crested weir < Free sharp-crested weir < Free ogee spillway

Statement (I): The ogee spillway is a control weir having an S-shaped crest profile which provides a high discharge coefficient without causing cavitations. Statement (II): The crest profile of ogee spillway conforms to the lower nappe of flow over a ventilated sharp-crested weir and ensures a constant discharge coefficient for all heads.
An ogee spillway of a concrete gravity dam having FRL of 328 m and MWL of 340 m is provided with vertical gates between piers erected on the spillway. The effective length of the spillway is 60 m. The discharge through the spillway when gates are opened up to the actual reservoir level of 331.0 m will be_____________
The discharge passing over an ogee spillway is given by (where, L is effective length of spillway crest and H is the total head over the spillway crest including velocity head.)
For discharge over ogee weir discharge is directly proportional to length but for discharge over narrow crested weir it is inversely proportional to length.

S2: When the two pumps P and R are connected in parallel, the discharge is 0.36 cumecs corresponding to a head of 70 m. S3: When the two pumps P and R are connected in series, the discharge is 0.3 cumecs corresponding to a head of 46 m.
