Figure 5 Relative errors for different methods for discharge calculations
Conclusion • Velocity-area method, commonly used for discharge determination requires a great amount of time and effort. • Sampling procedure of velocity measurements in a river cross-section during high floods could be difficult and particularly dangerous. • Slope-area methods such as Manning equation includes indefinite parameters such as roughness coefficient n. • The ratio of the mean and maximum velocities of a cross-section, which characterize the flow pattern, approaches a constant. • The mean velocity can be obtained by the constant ratio and the maximum velocity. • The maximum velocity can be determined quickly by measuring only a few velocities from a single vertical axis.
Six different measurements shows that, slopes-area method gives relatively high errors (%9,37) for discharge at the measured cross-section on Sarimsakli river. • The two-point and 0,6-depth method produced very sensitive results but, require more measured data along the cross-sections. • Mean relative errors were calculated as %3,31 and %2,90 respectively for these methods. • But application of entropy methods is very easy for known entropy parameter M and this concept gives much closer discharge results compared to integrated ones. • Mean relative error for six different measurements was calculated as %3,23 between integrated discharge and entropy concept.
