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

Discharge over Broad Crested Weir

Go Discharge Over Broad Crested Weir = Length of Weir Crest*Critical Depth of Weir*sqrt((2*[g])*(Total Head-Critical Depth of Weir))

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)

Maximum Discharge of Broad Crested Weir if Critical Depth is Constant

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

Max Discharge over Broad Crested Weir

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

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

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

Length of Crest if Critical Depth is Constant for Discharge of Weir

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

Critical Depth due to Reduction in Area of Flow Section given Total Head

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

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

Max Discharge over Broad Crested Weir Formula

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

What does Max Discharge mean?

Max Discharge over Broad Crested Weir is a measure of the max quantity of any fluid flow over unit time. The quantity may be either volume or mass.

What is a Broad Crested Weir?

Broad crested weirs are robust structures that are generally constructed from reinforced concrete and which usually span the full width of the channel. They are used to measure the discharge of rivers, and are much more suited for this purpose than the relatively flimsy sharp crested weirs. The broad crested weir is one which the water flow discharge in measured from large water bodies like big canals while the sharp crested weir will help in measuring the discharge of the water from the small rivers and canals and the weir is placed in the direction of the flow of water.
