Stage-discharge equations for sharp crested composite weirs / by Peter Engel and D. Doede.: En13-5/88-75E-PDF

"The Water Survey of Canada uses compound weirs at some of their hydrometric stations. A theoretical and experimental study was conducted to investigate the behaviour of such weirs near the crest transition. The results show that, while theoretical methods describe the stage-discharge equations very well, on-site calibrations should be conducted to obtain the necessary accuracy. Analysis also indicates that careful consideration must be given to the geometric proportioning of the weir cross-section"--Summary.
