INTRODUCTION WITH
FLUMES, WEIRS AND
ORIFICES….
Submitted By - Submitted To -

A FLUME IS A MAN MADE CHANNEL FOR WATER, IN THE FORM OF AN OPEN
DECLINED GRAVITY CHANNEL WHOSE WALLS ARE RAISED ABOVE THE
SURROUNDING TERRAIN, IN CONTRAST TO A TRENCH OR DITCH..
SOME VARIETIES OF FLUMES ARE USED IN MEASURING WATER FLOW OF A
LARGER CHANNEL…

A WEIR IS A BARRIER ACROSS A RIVER DESIGNED TO ALTER ITS FLOW
CHARACTERISTICS. IN MOST CASES, WEIRS TAKE THE FORM OF OBSTRUCTIONS
SMALLER THAN MOST CONVENTIONAL DAMS, POOLING WATER BEHIND THEM
WHILE ALSO ALLOWING IT TO FLOW STEADILY OVER THEIR TOPS. WEIRS ARE
COMMONLY USED TO ALTER THE FLOW OF RIVERS TO PREVENT FLOODING,
MEASURE DISCHARGE, AND HELP RENDER RIVERS NAVIGABLE.

Different Types Of Weirs….
1.A weir will artificially reduce the upstream water velocity, which can
lead to an increase in siltation.
2.Weirs can also have an effect on local fauna.
3.Even though the water around weirs can often appear relatively
calm, they can be extremely dangerous places to boat, swim, or
wade, as the circulation patterns on the downstream side—typically
called a HYDRAULIC JUMP— can submerge a person indefinitely. This
phenomenon is so well known to persons who spend time on rivers
that they even have a rueful name for weirs: "drowning machines".
4.The weir can become a point where garbage and other debris
accumulate.
Drawbacks of weirs……
ORIFICES….
An ORIFICE is a small opening provided in the structure or bulk
head put across the channel.
The opening are usually circular or rectangular. The orifices are
classified as free flow or submerged orifices according to
downstream water level is below the bottom of orifice or above
top of orifice.
Edges of orifice are sharp and made of metal.
