Numerical Investigation of the Effect of Geometric Parameters on Discharge Coefficients for Broad-Crested Weirs with Sloped Upstream and Downstream Faces
- Authors: F. Malekzadeh, F. Salmasi, J. Abraham, H. Arvanaghi
- Journal: Applied Water Science
- Volume: 12
- Article Number: 110
- Year: 2022
- Summary: This study employs numerical simulations to analyze how various geometric parameters—such as crest length, weir height, and upstream and downstream slopes—affect the discharge coefficient (Cd) of broad-crested weirs. The research utilizes ANSYS FLUENT software to perform 432 simulations, revealing that while the downstream slope has minimal impact on Cd, decreasing the upstream slope and weir height increases Cd within specific ranges.

Experimental Investigation for Determination of Discharge Coefficients for Inclined Slide Gates and Comparison with Data-Driven Models
- Authors: F. Salmasi, S. Shadkani, J. Abraham, F. Malekzadeh
- Journal: Iranian Journal of Science and Technology, Transactions of Civil Engineering
- Volume: 46
- Pages: 2495–2509
- Year: 2022
- Summary: This experimental study examines the discharge coefficient (Cd) for inclined slide gates under both free and submerged flow conditions. Tests were conducted with gate inclination angles of 0° (vertical), 15°, 30°, and 45°, along with varying gate openings. Findings indicate that increasing the inclination angle enhances Cd, thereby improving flow capacity beneath the gate. The study also evaluates data-driven models for predicting Cd, providing valuable insights for hydraulic engineering applications.

Study of Variations in Discharge Coefficients for Broad-Crested Weirs with Sloped Upstream and Downstream Faces Using Numerical Simulation
- Authors: F. Malekzadeh, H. Arvanaghi
- Journal: Amirkabir Journal of Civil Engineering
- Volume: 54
- Issue: 11
- Pages: 4119–4138
- Year: 2023
- Summary: This research utilizes numerical simulations to investigate how variations in upstream and downstream slopes of broad-crested weirs influence the discharge coefficient (Cd). The study systematically alters geometric parameters and analyzes their effects on Cd, providing regression equations for practical estimation. Results demonstrate that while the downstream slope has a negligible effect, reducing the upstream slope and weir height leads to an increase in Cd within certain parameter ranges.

- Authors: M.R. Eini, M. Darand, F. Malekzadeh, N. Kabiri, A. Panahi, M. Piniewski
- Journal: [Journal Name Not Provided]
- Year: 2023
- Summary: This study examines precipitation patterns over Poland and the Vistula and Odra river basins from 1990 to 2019. Utilizing a high-resolution 2 km × 2 km gridded dataset, the researchers analyzed four precipitation concentration indicators: Concentration Index (CI), Precipitation Concentration Index (PCI), Precipitation Concentration Period (PCP), and Precipitation Concentration Degree (PCD). Findings indicate consistent precipitation distribution throughout the year, with significant events predominantly occurring between February and May.
