Hydraulic Design of Stepped Spillways and Downstream Energy Dissipators for Embankment Dams [PDF]
In recent years, the design flows of many dams were re-evaluated, often resulting in discharges larger than the original design. In many cases, the occurrence of the revised flows could result in dam overtopping because of insufficient storage and ...

Physical Modelling, Scale Effects and Self-Similarity of Stepped Spillway Flows [PDF]
Stepped spillway flows are characterised by significant turbulent dissipation on the chute associated with strong free-surface aeration. Herein the validity of the Froude similitude is tested by re-analysing three experimental data sets corresponding to ...
