FAQs on Length of Crest for Discharge through Free Weir

What is the formula to find Length of Crest for Discharge through Free Weir?
The formula of Length of Crest for Discharge through Free Weir is expressed as Length of Weir Crest = (3*Discharge through Free Portion)/(2*Coefficient of Discharge*sqrt(2*Acceleration due to Gravity)*(((Head on Upstream of Weir-Head on Downstream of Weir)+(Velocity over Submerged Weir^2/(2*Acceleration due to Gravity)))^(3/2)-(Velocity over Submerged Weir^2/(2*Acceleration due to Gravity))^(3/2))). Here is an example- 1.921813 = (3*50.1)/(2*0.66*sqrt(2*9.8)*(((10.1-5.1)+(4.1^2/(2*9.8)))^(3/2)-(4.1^2/(2*9.8))^(3/2))).
How to calculate Length of Crest for Discharge through Free Weir?
With Discharge through Free Portion (Q1), Coefficient of Discharge (Cd), Acceleration due to Gravity (g), Head on Upstream of Weir (HUpstream), Head on Downstream of Weir (h2) & Velocity over Submerged Weir (vsu) we can find Length of Crest for Discharge through Free Weir using the formula - Length of Weir Crest = (3*Discharge through Free Portion)/(2*Coefficient of Discharge*sqrt(2*Acceleration due to Gravity)*(((Head on Upstream of Weir-Head on Downstream of Weir)+(Velocity over Submerged Weir^2/(2*Acceleration due to Gravity)))^(3/2)-(Velocity over Submerged Weir^2/(2*Acceleration due to Gravity))^(3/2))).
