| Abstract | A theoretical study on the effect of translatory waves on unsteady flow weir calibration was undertaken in an attempt to develop a criteria for the use of unsteady flow or falling head weir calibration. The translatory negative waves which occur during the calibration were assumed to be steep-fronted in an effort to simplify the solution. This assumption, however, was found out to give results which arc not accurate enough for the establishment of the criteria . |
