| Popis: | Recently, many research studies have focused on labyrinth weirs' hydraulic performance, especially as dependent on engineering features. In the current study, the hydraulic properties of flow over labyrinth triangular weirs models (from the upper perspective) with sharp crest have been experimentally studied and compare their efficiency with suppressed rectangular weirs (conventional weirs). Twelve fiberglass models are developed for this reason and tested in a 6m in length, 30cm in width, and 40cm height in laboratory flume, nine models were constructed for triangular labyrinth weirs and three models were constructed for suppressed rectangular weirs, Three alternative heights (p=15, 20, and 25cm) were employed in this research, for each height, the vertex angle (θ) changed three times (60օ, 90օ, 120օ), and for each one of these weirs was used, seven different discharge were approved. The overall tests in this study were 84. The dimensionless parameters on which the discharge coefficient (Cd) is dependent were obtained using dimensional analysis. parameters were plotted. According to this experimental present study, as compared to linear weirs, labyrinth triangular weirs shown to be more hydraulically efficient. Also, the height of the weir (P) has effects on the discharge coefficient, where (Cd) increased with decreasing (P). Also, the vertex angle of triangular labyrinth weirs(θ) has a major influence on discharge coefficient and on weir performance, where the discharge coefficient raises when decreases the value of angle(θ), in another means, when the angle decreases gave an increase in the path of the flow, where it gave the triangular labyrinth weir with an angle of 60o the discharge coefficient reached its greatest value (2.55), followed by the weir with an angle of 90o and 120o respectively. In other words (a small vertex angle gives more length effective (Le) to the weir) and this leads to an increase in flow capacity or performance for the weir. |
