A diversion weir is a headwork facility built across a river to raise water level and to divert water for various purposes, such as irrigation, hydropower generation, etc. In this study, a Windows-based, visual, and user friendly program named WINDWEIR is developed in Visual Basic.NET programming language for the optimum design of a diversion weir with sidewise intakes. The methodology used in the program is developed with reference to the design guidelines reported in the literature and in accordance with the common engineering practice. The program determines the overall dimensions and the total cost of a diversion weir. It also performs stability analyses. The program is relatively flexible such that a design engineer can assess various dimensions of the structure by performing quick successive test runs to achieve an optimum solution among various alternatives. An application is presented to demonstrate the use of the program.

Development of a computer program for optimum design of diversion weirs
Turan, Kamil Hakan; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2004)
A diversion weir is a headwork facility built across a river to raise the water level and to divert water for various purposes, such as irrigation, hydropower generation, etc. Diversion weirs with sidewise intakes are widely used in plain rivers. They are composed of many structural components which are designed for different purposes. In this thesis, a Windows-based, visual, user friendly program named WINDWEIR was developed in Visual Basic.NET programming language for the optimum design of a diversion wei...
Hydraulic characteristics of tyrolean weirs
Yılmaz, Nazlı Aslıcan; Göğüş, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
Tyrolean type water-intake structures are widely used on mountain rivers to provide water to hydropower stations. The main concern encountered in these kinds of structures is the amount of water diverted from the main channel and sediment carried by this flow. The diverted flow should not be less than the design discharge of the hydropower station and the amount of the sediment entering the hydraulic system should be minimum. In this study a physical model of a Tyrolean weir was constructed at the Hydromech...
Performance of FLO-2D software on flood inundation analysis
Şahin, Ahmet Nazım; Aydın, İsmail; Department of Civil Engineering (2016)
Yeşilçay river basin is one of the main sources of İstanbul urban water supply system through the “Yeşilçay Drinking Water Plan”. Construction of two dams: Sungurlu Dam on Sungurlu stream and Osmangazi Dam on Göksu River have started to provide domestic and industrial water, flood control and energy production. Ağva is a small town which has population of about 2,500 in winter time but hosts around 15,000 people in the summer time located on the intersection of Göksu and Sungurlu streams called Yeşilçay riv...
Design of settling basins and related problems encountered in practice
Zaloğlu, Fatma Deniz; Göğüş, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2013)
Settling basins are the hydraulic structures used to get sediment-free water from rivers mostly for hydropower systems. Mainly fine sediment is trapped along the settling basins and from time to time the accumulated sediment in the settling basin is flushed away. A wrong design of a settling basin creates lots of problems. In this study based on the hydraulic analysis of a settling basin, the available settling basin design procedures in the literature were reviewed. Some of the settling basins constructed ...
Comparison of linear, labyrinth and piano key weirs to increase the discharge capacity of existing spillways for a given head /
Karaeren, Deniz; Bozkuş, Zafer; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
Dams play an important role in infrastructure of our country and provide drinking water, flood protection, renewable hydroelectric power, navigation, and irrigation as well as facilities for sports activities. However, dams in Turkey are gradually aging and in order to assure the safety of those aging dams, rehabilitation is necessary. Very often, increasing the capacity of a spillway would be required in rehabilitation works. Thus, it is the main goal of this study to investigate some practical methods use...
