These weirs have greater control under low flow conditions. This weir is either a sharp or
broad crested vee shaped weir. The angle of the vee can vary from greater than zero degrees
to 180 degrees. It cannot be zero or 180 degrees.
The following are design limitsCasey_Ref for practical applications of sharp crested V-Notch
weirs:
p1 >= 0.10 m
Tail water level >= 0.05 m below the vertex of the V-Notch.
Kindsvater and Carter (1957) proposed that the discharge coefficient is a function of the
notch angle and effective head (he) on the weir. The effective head is the head on the weir
corrected by a correction factor kh such that he = h1 + Kh
