Data for: A novel and enhanced calibration of the tilting weir as a flow measurement structure

To achieve reliable and equitable water distribution it is necessary to accurately estimate the volumetric discharge of water flow through rivers and canals. One such method of accomplishing this is by using hydraulic structures, such as the tilting weir. This structure not only can be used to measure the discharge of water on a continuous basis, but also allows for regulating the water level upstream of the structure. Presently, tilting weirs are often used to control water levels, but the literature on their utilization as flow measurement structures has remained sparse. This study presents a thorough analysis of laboratory experiments on scaled models of tilting weirs, where the flow depth upstream of the structure (i.e., head) and the inclination angle are used to calibrate an equation to estimate the discharge to a high degree of accuracy. Operational guidelines to ensure minimum uncertainty in measurement are also given.

为实现可靠且公平的水资源调配，需精准估算流经河流与渠道的水流体积流量。其中一种可行手段为采用水工结构，例如翻板闸（tilting weir）。该结构既可连续测量水流流量，又可调节结构上游的水位。当前，翻板闸常被用于水位调控，但有关其作为流量测量结构的应用研究文献仍较为匮乏。本研究针对翻板闸缩尺模型开展了系统的室内试验分析，以结构上游水流深度（即水头）与倾角为校准参数，推导得到可高精度估算流量的计算公式，并给出了可将测量不确定度降至最低的操作规范。

本公开发布的数据涵盖全部试验的水头与流量测量结果，包含试验地点、试验日期及模型尺寸等相关信息。
