Analysis of Energy Dissipation of Interval-Pooled Stepped Spillways. [PDF]
The water flow characteristics over an interval-pooled stepped spillway are investigated by combining the renormalization group (RNG) k-ε turbulence model with the volume of fluid (VOF) interface capture technique in the present study.

Hydraulic performance of a pre-aerated stilling basin: Experimental study. [PDF]
Spillway chutes are critical in dam flood control, particularly in high dams where high water heads and large discharge in narrow canyons amplify the demand for safe discharging. For large unit discharges in spillways, aeration protection is essential to

Numerical investigation of simultaneous effect of end sills and roughness on flow characteristics in V-shaped stepped spillways [PDF]
The special configuration of V- shape stepped spillways increases energy dissipation and aeration compared to the smooth spillways due to the creation of many vortices near the steps. In this research, the energy dissipation in different types of stepped

Study Effect of Fluctuations of Pressure Factors of Stepped Short-throat Shaft Spillways on Hydraulic Coefficient [PDF]
Stepped spillways discharge more flow through themselves than smooth spillways theoretically. Therefore, understanding the flow behavior of these spillways can lead to better and more efficient use. In addition, the use of vortex breaker.
