Procedure
Open the flow control valve and allow the water to flow into the flume then adjust the
valve to obtain a depth y
0
of 0.070m upstream of the weir. Maintain this level whilst
measuring the downstream depth of flow y
1
and the flowrate Q. For accurate results the
upstream level gauge must be far enough upstream to be clear of the draw-down over the
weir. Similarly the downstream level gauge must be in clear water after the level has
stabilised.
Repeat this for 0.010m increments of y
0
, recording the measurements of y
0
, y
1
and Q and
noting any variation in the flow patterns over the weir.
Add stop logs one at a time at the discharge end of the flume. When the levels have
stabilised record the measurements of y
0
, y
1
and Q. Observe the changes in the flow
patterns over the weir.

Tabulate your readings and calculations as follows:

Determine the average coefficient of discharge for modular flow conditions.
Plot values of f against

then determine the modular limit – the value of

H
where f
ceases to be unity.
Conclusion
How does your value for the modular limit compare with the recognised value of
approximately 0.7?
How does the value of f change when the weir is drowned?
How are the flow patterns affected when flow over the weir changes from modular to
non-modular flow?
