Spillway Weir Capacity

Calculates spillway discharge capacity using the weir equation Q = C*L_eff*H_e^1.5 with pier and abutment contraction corrections to effective crest length and approach velocity head adjustments per USBR Design Standard No. 14 and USACE EM 1110-2-1603. Supports ogee and broad-crested weir types for dam safety and flood routing assessments.
