Mansoura Engineering Journal

The discharge measurement is significant in wide engineering applications such as water conveyance, sewer system, irrigation, and drainage system. Many devices are designed to measure discharge in partially filled circular and semicircular channels. In this study new semicircular mobile flume depends on the concept of developing a contracted zone to have a control section was examined. The contraction was made by installing a vertical pipe with axial holes at the semicircular open channel to create critical flow. To evaluate the efficiency of this type of devices mathematical and experimental studies were presented. Specific energy, discharge, and Froude number equations were …
