Introduction

A weir is a barrier across a designated flow path that is designed to alter flow characteristics. Most common weirs act as an obstruction, smaller but similar to a dam, that pools water behind it while allowing water to steadily flow over the top. Weirs within TUFLOW, like bridges, do not require data for length, Manning's n, divergence or bed slope so they are zero-length channels effectively.
