    Question

    In a submerged rectangular weir, an arrangement for aeration of nappe is essential for which of the following reasons?

    A.

    For having a constant head-discharge relation independent of time

    B.

    For preventing submergence of weir

    C.

    For maintaining water quality

    D.

    For having highest value of co-efficient of discharge

    Correct option is A

    In a submerged rectangular weir, aeration of the nappe is essential to:
    Prevent formation of partial vacuum beneath the nappe.
    Ensure that the pressure under the nappe remains at atmospheric pressure.
    This condition maintains a stable and predictable head–discharge relationship, which is independent of time.
    Without proper aeration, fluctuating pressures develop below the nappe, causing unstable discharge measurements and unreliable results.
