A spillway discharges flood flow at a rate of 9 m³/ s per metre width. If the depth of flow on the horizontal apron at the toe of the spillway is 46cm, the tail water depth needed to form a hydraulic jump is approximately given by which of the following options?
A sewer regulator is equipped with a Cipolletti weir (U.S.B.R. standard trapezoidal weir) to control combined sewer overflow (figure below). The design criteria for the regulator is to accommodate a peak combined sewer overflow flow rate to the outfall of up to 0.85 m³/sec. If the weir crest is 2m from the invert of the regulator, what is the weir length if the regulator is designed to prevent flooding of a nearby basement with a floor that is 2.35 m above the regulator invert? |0| 30" Outlet to WWTP 60" Inlet Regulator Cipolletti Weir 72" Combined Sewer Outfall Plan View
1. Consider a gated-controlled overflow spillway with a length of 30 ft and designed for a head of 8 ft. The gate seats on the crest with 0= 90°. The upstream face of the crest is vertical with the crest elevation at 1000 ft and the elevation of the streambed is 980 ft. Determine the discharge for net gate openings of 2 ft and 3 ft at the design head. 2. Compute the time of flow in a gutter for the situation in which the spread T1 at the upstream end is 1 ft, which results from the bypass flow from the upstream inlet. The design spread T2 at the second inlet is 5 ft, the gutter slope is S=0.03, and the cross slope is Sx = 0.025. Manning's n=0.016 and the inlet spacing is 200 ft. 3.
