Side weirs, also known as a lateral weirs, and overflow dams are free overflow regulation and diversion devices commonly encountered in hydraulic engineering. They are set into the side of a channel or river allowing to spill a part of the discharge over t ...
Les seuils a deversoir lateral sont des structures de controle et de detournement a ecoulement libre regulierement utilisees en ingenierie de lutte contre les inondations. La perte laterale d'eau permet de reduire la capacite de transport de la charge de f ...
In flood protection engineering, side weirs or overflow dams are used to divert water in a controlled way into flood plains as soon as the discharge capacity of the main-channel is reached. Because of the lateral loss of water, the sediment transport capac ...
Side weirs are widely used to control flow processes along a channel or river. The lateral loss of water reduces the sediment transport capacity in the main-channel leading to local sediment deposition near the overflow. The design discharge to be diverted ...
Side weirs and overtopable levees are widely used to increase flood routing along a channel or river. The lateral loss of water reduces the sediment transport capacity leading to the formation of a local sediment deposit close to the overflow. Since the ex ...
