Re-Aeration on Stepped Spillways with Special Consideration of Entrained and Entrapped Air
As with most high-velocity free-surface flows, stepped spillway flows become self-aerated when the drop height exceeds a critical value. Due to the step-induced macro-roughness, the flow field becomes more turbulent than on a similar smooth-invert chute.

Air-water flows on stepped spillways with inclined steps [PDF]
Stepped spillways have been constructed worldwide and the overflow is characterised by intense turbulent dissipation and strong self-aeration. The current study investigated experimentally the two-phase flow properties on stepped chutes equipped with inclined downward steps.

Investigating the Effect of Different Arrangements of Obstacle on the Stepped Spillway on Flow Characteristics and Energy Dissipation [PDF]
This study has investigated the effect of roughness such as screen and 3D-porous obstacle with different arrangements on steps, 3D-porous obstacle, and continuous obstacle at the edge of steps in two slopes of 1:2 and 1:3 for all three regimes in the ...

History of stepped channels and spillways: a rediscovery of the “wheel” [PDF]
Recently, spillways with a stepped profile have regained interest and favor among design engineers to pass flood waters over the dams. The stepped geometry enhances the energy dissipation above the spillway and reduces the size of a downstream stilling basin.

Evaluating the Effect of Anti-Vortex Plates on Discharge Coefficient in Short Throat Shaft Spillway [PDF]
Knowing more about the flow behavior of short-stepped shaft spillways helps to use this structure better and more efficiently. Moreover, using a vortex breaker greatly affects passing flow through Shaft Spillway. For use more efficiently, the risk of the

Physical Modeling of an Aerating Stepped Spillway
To mitigate the negative effects on the water quality in the downstream river of a projected large dam, and in particular to increase the dissolved oxygen concentration during low flow periods within the first 10 years of dam operation, an aerating weir has been designed and tested on a physical model at the Laboratory of Engineering Hydraulics (HECE ...
