Total Head given Discharge over Weir Crest

Go Total Head = ((Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir/(Length of Weir Crest*Critical Depth of Weir))^2)*(1/(2*[g]))+Critical Depth of Weir

Velocity of Flow given Head

Go Velocity of Fluid for Weir = sqrt((2*Acceleration due to Gravity)*(Total Head-Critical Depth of Weir))

Head if Velocity is considered for Discharge over Broad Crested Weir

Go Total Head = (Max Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir/(1.70*Coefficient of Discharge*Length of Weir Crest))^(2/3)

Coefficient of Discharge for Max Discharge over Crested Weir

Go Coefficient of Discharge = Max Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir/(1.70*Length of Weir Crest*(Total Head)^(3/2))

Length of Crest over Broad Crested Weir for Max Discharge

Go Length of Weir Crest = Max Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir/(1.70*Coefficient of Discharge*(Total Head)^(3/2))

Total Head for Maximum Discharge

Go Total Head = (Max Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir/(1.70*Coefficient of Discharge*Length of Weir Crest))^(2/3)

Total Head above Weir Crest

Go Total Head = Critical Depth of Weir+(Velocity of Fluid for Weir^2/(2*Acceleration due to Gravity))

Head for Broad Crested Weir

Go Head on Upstream of Weir = (Total Head+Additional Head)

Additional Head given Head for Broad Crested Weir

Go Additional Head = Head on Upstream of Weir-Total Head

Coefficient of Discharge given Discharge of Weir if Critical Depth is Constant Formula

Coefficient of Discharge = Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir/(1.70*Length of Weir Crest*(Total Head)^(3/2))
