Discharge Coefficient of Sharp-Crested Trapezoidal Labyrinth Weirs

Year 2016, Volume: 6 Issue: 4, 1305 - 1316, 28.12.2016

Abstract

Labyrinth weirs provide an effective means to increase the spillway discharge capacity of dams and are often considered for renovation projects required due to an increase in expected flood inflow to the reservoir of an existing dam. Free crest spillways are hydraulically efficient and safe in operation. Since their discharge capacity is directly proportional to the crest length several types have been developed with the purpose to increase the length of the latter. In recent years many research investigations have considered the hydraulic performance of labyrinth weirs, particularly as dependent on the geometric features. The previous work has improved the design basis for such weirs. In the present study, discharge coefficients were experimentally determined for sharp crested trapezoidal labyrinth weirs of varying side wall angle (α). The experimental results of 21 physical models were used to develop a hydraulic design and analysis method for labyrinth weirs. The present research primarily aims at evaluating various characteristics of a flow-over labyrinth weir by conducting experimentations at wider range of values for important parameters.
