This book presents new formulas for calculating the discharge of water over weirs and through sluice gates, based on a rational analysis of the hydrodynamic and hydrostatic pressures involved in such flows. The author's approach differs from that of previous researchers, who incorrectly assumed that the discharge through a submerged weir was resisted by an equal hydrostatic counter-pressure on the discharge area, without considering the suction due to the velocity of discharge. The book's formulas have been validated by comparing them to experimental data, and they provide more accurate results than existing formulas, especially for submerged weirs. The book also includes a discussion of the impact of weir crests and end contractions on the discharge, as well as a collection of older weir formulas proposed by different authors, for comparison purposes. The author's work advances the understanding of weir and sluice gate hydraulics and provides valuable insights for engineers and researchers working in this field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
