A spillway with Trapezoidal Labyrinth Shaped steps (TLS) is proposed and investigated
numerically. The results show that this spillway has better performance as it increases the …

This work presents numerical simulations carried out to study the influence of geometric
characteristics of pooled steps on the energy dissipation performance, flow patterns …

Stepped spillways are suitable and economical options for high-storage dams that require
significant energy dissipation, structural adaptation to roller-compacted concrete dams, and …

A stepped spillway, which is defined as a spillway with steps on the chute, can be used to
improve the energy dissipation of descending water. Although uniform stepped spillways …

Spills of dams often lead to dissolved gases supersaturation of water downstream. Owing to
the slow dissipation, the impact of supersaturated dissolved gases in cascade hydropower …

The effect of the end sill shape of steps for two-phase flow over stepped spillways was
investigated. A quantitative assessment approach has been applied. Experimental and …

This study aims to illustrate the influence of stepped spillway width on alternating skimming
flow development. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model in Ansys Fluent® was …

The aim of this study was to investigate the location of inception point of flow aeration
(LIPFA) on quarter-circular crested stepped spillway (QCSS). The QCSS is a typical stepped …

Spillway is a crucial hydraulic structure used to discharge excess water from the dam
reservoir. Air entrainment is essential to prevent cavitation damage on the spillway …

The step-type energy dissipator is widely used to construct small-and medium-sized
reservoirs with its high energy dissipation rate. In order to further improve its air entrainment …
