Conducting numerical and physical models to investigate the flow behavior through morning
glory spillways (MGSs) are the only two methods usually used in the design phase of such …

Vortex is the basic obstacle envisaged in the morning glory spillways that can lead to the
reduction of spillway efficiency due to decreasing the discharge coefficient. It is well known …

Shaft spillways are commonly provided with adequate submergence to avoid air
entrainment and swirling flows. However, other structural approaches can also be …

This research aims at optimizing geometric dimensions and vortex breaker of morning glory
spillway using a genetic algorithm (a case study of a physical model of San Louis Forebay …

Accepted: 5 April 2019 The Morning Glory spillway is one of the types of spillways that are
used for the passage of excess waters and floods from the dams' upstream to the …

Background: In terms of the significance of spillways on dams' stability, this research was
initiated to propose innovative spillway inlet shapes with the CS “Circular Spillway” and …

Morning glory spillway is built upstream of the dam in the reservoir to convey water from the
reservoir to the downstream. The main problem of the spillway is the swirling flow and vortex …

Stepped spillways discharge more flow through themselves than smooth spillways
theoretically. Therefore, understanding the flow behavior of these spillways can lead to …

Morning glory spillways are one of dam spillways. This type of spillway is so effective when
there is no adequate space to build other types of spillways. The main problem with these …
