In-Line (Rectangular) Weir

The flow is given by:

  B = weir length, L
  h = effective head, L
  C = weir coefficient
  n = number (0,1,2) of end contractions

The weir coefficient can be further given (for weirs stretching across the channel) by:

  g = gravity
  be = effective width (essentially the width)
  He = effective head (essentially the head)
  Cv = 0.602 + 0.075 h/p for full width weir0.587 - 0.023 h/p for fully contracted weir where p = depth of weir crest above channel bottomh = head
Note: The weir coefficient required by the program is the C coefficient, not Cv.
