Drop Spillway Capacity Calculator (free flow no submerged)










Drop Spillway Capacity Formula

Discharge (\( q = 0.55 \cdot C \cdot L \cdot h^{3/2} \)):

Where:

  • \( q \) is the discharge, in cubic meters per second (m³/s).
  • \( C \) is the weir coefficient.
  • \( L \) is the weir length, in meters (m).
  • \( h \) is the depth of flow over the crest, in meters (m).
