Weir Outlet Design

Sizes a sharp-crested rectangular weir for detention basin emergency overflow using the Francis formula Q = Cw * (L - 0.1*n*H) * H^1.5, where Cw = Cd * sqrt(2g). Solves for the required crest length given design flow, head, discharge coefficient, and end contractions, supporting stormwater detention and flood control design.
