B.14 Weir/2D Weir* Properties

NameUser-assigned weirname.
Inlet NodeName of node on the inlet end of the weir (which is normally the end at higher elevation).
Outlet NodeName of node on the outlet end of the weir (which is normally the end at lower elevation).
DescriptionClick the ellipsis button (or press Enter) to edit an optional description of the weir.
TagOptional label used to categorize or classify the weir.
TypeWeir type: TRANSVERSE, SIDEFLOW, V-NOTCH, or TRAPEZOIDAL.
HeightVertical height of weir opening (feet or meters).
LengthHorizontal length of weir opening (feet or meters).
Side SlopeSlope (width-to-height) of side walls for a V-NOTCH or TRAPEZOIDAL weir.
Inlet OffsetDepth or elevation of bottom of weir opening from invert of inlet node (feet or meters – see note below table of Conduit Properties).
Discharge Coeff.Discharge coefficient for flow through the central portion of the weir (for flow in CFS when using US units or CMS when using SI units). Typical values are: 3.33 US (1.84 SI) for sharp crested transverse weirs, 2.5 - 3.3 US (1.38 - 1.83 SI) for broad crested rectangular weirs, 2.4 - 2.8 US (1.35 - 1.55 SI) for V-notch (triangular) weirs
Flap GateYES, if the weir has a flap gate that prevents backflow, NO if it does not.
End Coeff.Discharge coefficient for flow through the triangular ends of a TRAPEZOIDAL weir. See the recommended values for V-notch weirs listed above.
End Contractions Number of end contractions for a TRANSVERSE or TRAPEZOIDAL weir whose length is shorter than the channel it is placed in. Values will be 0, 1, or 2 depending on if no ends, one end, or both ends are beveled in from the side walls.
