The paper deals with selected procedures used to calculate the shape of compact nappe during free overfall from a smooth horizontal channel with rectangular cross section. Calculated and measured water surface and velocity conditions in the end section, the level of water surface upstream in front of the end section and the shape of the compact part of an overfall nappe are described for a particular compared case.
