Notes:
Numerical analysis of fluid flow over a spillway is treated in the present paper. A variational principle is introduced for a flow with a free surface boundary under gravity, where the stream function and the profile of the free boundary are independent quantities subjected to variation. A new iteration method is formulated by the combined use of the variational principle and the finite element method. A numerical example based on the iterative method is illustrated. Results thus obtained show good agreement with those obtained from an empirical formula.
