AbstractIn this study, the flow turbulence and variations of the supercritical free surface flow in a circular channel along a side weir are simulated as three dimensional using the RNG k-ε turbulence model and volume of fluid (VOF) scheme. Comparison between the numerical model and experimental measurements shows that the numerical model simulates the free surface flow with good accuracy. According to the numerical model results, the specific energy variations along the side weir for the supercritical flow regime are almost constant and the energy drop is not significant but by increasing the side weir length the energy difference between the side weir upstream and downstream increases. Next, using the nonlinear regression (NLR) and analysis of the simulation results, some relationships for calculating the discharge coefficient of side weir on circular channels in supercritical flow regime are provided.

Side weirs are flow-diversion devices widely used in irrigation, land drainage, and urban sewage systems. Hydraulic characteristics of a sharp-crested rectangular side weir under supercritical flow have been studied in this paper. The concept of elementary discharge coefficient for supercritical flow is introduced. The elementary discharge coefficient has been related to head weir height ratio and local Froude number. Suitable equations for the elementary discharge coefficient are introduced.Key words: supercritical flow, sharp crested, rectangular side weir, elementary discharge coefficient.
