Novel Techniques to Study the Effect of Parapet Wall Geometry on the Performance of Piano Key Weirs
Piano key weirs (PKWs) with crown parapet walls effectively manage water levels and maximize storage. However, their efficiency is compromised by interactions between water flow and submerged outlets during rising water levels. This study investigates novel parapet wall designs to improve PKW performance and reduce submergence effects. The experiment focuses on a PKW with a fixed 12.6 cm weir height. Three parapet wall configurations are tested: Mode 1 (walls on all apex), Mode 2 (walls fixed on sides and inlet), and Mode 3 (walls along the sides). Each mode includes three parapet wall profiles: rectangular (consistent form), triangular, and trapezoidal (varying characteristics). Results indicate that parapet wall design significantly affects water level variations with increasing wall height. Mode 3, featuring triangular and trapezoidal parapet walls, demonstrates the highest discharge capacity among the examined profiles. The discharge coefficient correlates with parapet wall height and form. Notably, the triangular wall in Mode 3 outperforms Modes 1 and 2 when parapet walls maintain an R/P ratio of 0.36. This study introduces innovative parapet wall designs to enhance PKW efficiency. By implementing advanced configurations, significant improvements in water control and discharge capacity can be achieved. These findings contribute to the state-of-the-art in PKW technology and offer valuable insights for practical engineering applications.
