Study of flow over piano key weir of different plan shapes with free and partially submerged outlet conditions

Piano key weirs are being increasingly used for better flood passage downstream, both as a new structure or on top of hydraulic structures like a dam, to increase their discharging capacity as well as reservoir storage. Much research has been done on rectangular plan-form, while other plan-forms war...
