The combined system of gate and weir is used for flow measurement in open channels. But in case the passing water has floating material and sediment it damages their performance and hence error of measurement will increase. In order to solve this problem, weir and gate can be combined and a concentrated hydraulic system known as weir-gate can be developed, thus allowing sediments transportation from under the gate and floating particles on weir. The principal goal of this study was to investigate the passing flow characteristics by trapezoidal weir and sharp-edge rectangular sluice gate in rectangular channel, and also suggest a discharge coefficient for combinational flow in different flow conditions. The experiments were carried out in laboratory channel on models with different geometric dimensions under various hydraulic conditions. Discharge coefficient was presented for various condition of passing flow of trapezoidal sharp-edge weir and below rectangular sluice gate using statistical analysis conducted on dimensionless geometric parameters affecting the flow. Resulting discharge coefficients were in agreement with laboratory results.
