Abstract
A side weir is a flow diversion device, which is widely used in irriga tion as a head regulator of distributaries and escapes. This paper pre sents a concept for an elementary discharge coefficient that is relate d to the discharge flowing through an elementary strip along the side- weir length. Generalized equations for an elementary discharge coeffic ient for rectangular and triangular side weirs have been proposed. Exp erimental results show the accuracy of the proposed equations.
