Experimental study and modelling discharge coefficient of trapezoidal and rectangular piano key weirs

Abstract Crest length is an important parameter in influencing the discharge handling capacity of a weir. Nonlinear weirs with longer crests are cost effective alternatives for those existing dam structures which are more susceptible to failure due to loss of storage capacity by reservoir silting pr...
