Experimental Investigation of Influence of Key-shape Variation on Discharge Capacity of Piano Key Weir
Abstract: The piano key weir is a nonlinear free flow type weir with small foundation width. There are many geometrical parameters which influence the discharge capacity of the piano key weir. As in Labyrinth weir, the piano key weir is zigzagged in a plan to increase the crest length. Overhanging on both sides reduces the foundation width of such weir. To investigate the effects of key-shape variation of piano key weirs …

Statistical Study of Turbulence Near Piano Key Weir: A Review
Abstract: Piano Key Weirs are more efficient than the traditional Labyrinth weir and Piano Key Weirs can be an interesting solution for increasing the active storage of reservoir or for improving the safety of dam during extreme flood. This technology helps to reduce the reservoir sedimentation. It will also help in minimizing the sub-mergence effect. Flushing is vital for the preservation of long-term storage in reservoirs. However, downstream impacts such as …
