In this study, different physical models of stepped spillways are constructed and the effect of
intense water mixing on increasing the dissolved oxygen concentration in water is …

Stepped spillways have many applications in dam structures, and river engineering.
Moreover, stilling basins can be constructed with lower costs as energy dissipation by …

Stepped spillways are man-made hydraulic structures designed to control the release of flow
and to achieve a high energy dissipation. The flow pattern for a given stepped chute …

In this study, experimental procedure and laboratory works have been conducted to
investigate the energy loss rate on stepped spillway, using inclined steps together with end …

Stepped spillways are important water-management structures that are used for energy
dissipation. Use of these spillways has increased in recent decades, they can reduce …

Dissipating the flow energy while passing over spillway has a certain number of
importances. The basic rhyme or reason is that dissipating the large flow energy plays a …

Stepped chutes have been frequently used since the 1980s in order to take advantage of
their dissipation efficiency, aeration characteristics and relative ease of construction. Two …

Energy dissipation is one of the most important issues in spillway design as the downstream
water flow can be highly energetic, which may lead to the creation of a scour hole in the …

On a stepped channel, three distinct flow regimes, nappe, transition, and skimming, occur
successively with increasing discharge. This work proposes a criterion of the transition flow …

Even if stepped spillways have been largely investigated in the last decades, their hydraulic
features are not completely clarified. This determines some difficulties during the design …
