Very good treatment of what is usually considered simple calculations.
This busts the myth that a few straightforward equations cover all conditions for flow calculations.
The accompanying spreadsheet is useful for those tedious coefficient calculations.
Very useful course. Thanks.

Good and useful course. The two equations in tab 3 of the Excel file for calculating Kb and the ranges of L/B values for selecting which equation to use do not match the course document.

Very informative. One thing to note when taking this course - When using the Kindsvater-Carter Equation for V Notch Angles the angle can be used to calculate Ce and k, but you must convert to radians when calculating the flow rate. Otherwise the answers are different, you will even get negative numbers when calculating the tangent.

Majority of the presentation had direct relationship to the Test of Record but Question 18.
Test for Record Question 18 is not even similar to review test question 18. Test question 18 in both cases concerned Broad Crest Weir but to solve the question require using the formula for Contracted Weir.

Cannot figure out question 18. the test choices are radically different from worksheet. and using the formula quoted the answer is . . . .
Very confusing! Other differences between the course text and the excel sheets were noted
Portions of the review comments were removed because they address the correct answers to questions.

I have used the weir calcs but did not pay much attention to the constraints on each type of weir. These calcs can also be applied to flow in vessels with weirs.

There were two typographical errors on Page 20. At the top of the page, Equation (14) should be Equation (15). Also, the reference back to Equation(7) on Page 12 doesn't match the Equation(7) shown on Page 20. Otherwise, this was an excellent course with a thorough test. The material will be useful to me in my current work environment. Thank you.
Thanks for your help in perfecting this course. We have made the corrections that you identified.

I thought the course was very helpful. I had previously done a limited amount of weir and flume work but this couse really expanded my knowledge. The only comment I would have is that there were some typos in the section on rectangular weirs involving the correction factors kb and kh. One was -0.0003 and the other was 0.003. Kh seemeed to fluctuate from positive to negative and from 0.003 to 0.0003. I would suggest looking at every place it was used to make sure all are consistent. I think that the problem arose becuase the kb and kh values were similar. Otherwise, great course!
SunCam Comment: Thanks for the feedback. We have made the correction.

This was a very good course to show how to measure flow through weirs and plumes. It made me think.

I enjoyed the course content, and find the information quite useful. I am accustomed to occasionally starting from scratch to evaluate weirs and flumes using reference texts from my college years; and hand calculating the results, sometimes using a range of possible of variables and alternate methods, to arrive at a confidence factor for the results. The tools of this course make that a little easier. (however, I am "old school" and check everything by direct calculation.
