FREE OVERFALL IN A HORIZONTAL SMOOTH RECTANGULAR CHANNEL

The experiments were conducted in hydraulics laboratory of civil Engineering Department, Shepherd Institute of Engineering and Technology, SHUATS, Allahabad .India. The effects on free overfall in smooth horizontal rectangular channel are studied. The characteristic include water depth, free overfall and brink depth at smooth horizontal Rectangular channel. The variation of yc with ye has been studied. In addition the relation between Q and yc , Q and ye has also been developed. The results are found to highly satisfactory and are close to results given by Rajaratnam, N. and Muralidhar, Rouse, Turan.
