Sluice canal downstream of the weir is modeled by a one dimension hydraulic model program (HEC-RAS).
The model starts upstream just after the weir vertical wall and ends 100 meters after the end of the weir
sluice canal. Hatched area shows the area modeled, to get an extreme velocity for design the upstream
boundary condition discharge, and the downstream boundary condition set to be at critical water surface.

The discharge at the upstream of the model is set to be at 30 m/sec. Water surface profile in the model
are shown in Figure 2. At sta 100 the sudden expansion from sluice canal to the weir downstream takes
place.

With the velocity of 0.82 m/sec, the designed rip rap diameter of 40 cm minimum should suffice to ensure
no bed load transport happens. With the numbers above in the hjulstrom chart falls in the deposition
area.
