Discharge measurement in an open channel is within a prefixed degree of accuracy withleast compromise on the head of flowing liquid is a challenging task. In the present investigations, analysis of flow through the inward trapezoidal channel (ITC) is done based on experimental investigations. The flow through the 30o apex angle of inward side slopes working under relative heads is analysed and the mathematical discharge modelling for the flow through inward trapezoidal channel (ITC) is presented. The relevance of the present research carried out is highlighted with respect to non-intrusive flow measurement. Experiments are carried for flow through symmetrical inward trapezoidal channel (ITC) with sides inclined at 60o with the horizontal (Apex angle 30o). The discharge for the inward trapezoidal channel (ITC) is found to vary within two percentage deviation from the mean value. The experimental head-discharge plot also indicates the validity of the research work with most of the experimental values falling on the established equation for the flow through (30o Apex angle) linear inverted trapezoidal channel.

FLOW ANALYSIS THROUGH INWARD TRAPEZOIDAL CHANNELS
International Journal of Science, Environment and Technology, 2023
For the first time, a theoretical, validated by experimental investigation on the flow through inward trapezoidal channel is done. A near-linear depth-discharge relationship is obtained by optimization such that the computed discharge is well within 2% deviation from the corresponding theoretical values. It is found that the linear relationship for practical and theoretical are given for z1 = 0.095 and z2 =0.123, respectively are QLa = 2.1725y-0.3159, QLt = 2.0171y-0.1937 and QLa = 2.02y-0.2027, QLt = 2.0171y-0.1937. A geometrically simple flume which can be constructed or existing flume can be modified on-site with straight sides in the shape of inward trapezoidal shape has been theoretically analyzed, graphically and experimentally validated. It is shown that it can be used for normal flows as a near-linear flow measuring device. The flow in the new device is shown to vary linearly with respect to the flow depth valid within a pre-defined range of depth within prefixed error of deviation from the theoretical discharge. The significance is the shift is from measurement of discharge through computations to direct reading and auto-recording of the discharge with a piezometer or a float-regulated device.
New Technique for measurement of Discharge in Open channel flow
2017
AbstractUsing the traditional technique for measuring discharge in open channel flow a new technique of discharge measurement is being developed by calibration of venturiflume to facilitate discharge measurement, which will lead the work in efficient way and achieving economy and accuracy. The methodology which is being refined through preparing actual model and proposed model, by using the experimental observations analysing them and preparing graphical output.
