Testing the Stage-Discharge Relationship in Sloping SMBF Flumes
2021
The Samani, Magallanez, Baiamonte, Ferro (SMBF) flume is a simple and inexpensive instrument for indirect discharge measurement that was originally proposed for use in a horizontal channel and then also applied in sloping channels. The contraction of the flow cross section, aimed at establishing a critical flow condition, is simply obtained by applying two half cylinders to the walls of a rectangular cross section. In this paper a theoretical approach previously proposed for a horizontal SMBF flume is first extended to a sloping SMBF flume and a new stage-discharge relationship is deduced. Then, this equation is experimentally tested using laboratory measurements from literature for differe…
