The flow rate of water flowing in a 5-m-wide channel is to be measured with a sharp-crested triangular weir 0.5 m above the channel bottom with a notch angle of 80°. If the flow depth upstream from the weir is 1.5 m, determine the flow rate of water through the channel. Take the weir discharge coefficient to be 0.60.

Fluid Dynamics

The study of the flow of gases and liquids, usually in and around solid surfaces, is known as fluid dynamics in physics and engineering. Fluid dynamics, for example, can be used to evaluate the movement of air through an airplane wing or the surface of a vehicle. It can also be used in ship design to increase the speed at which ships pass through water.
