There are several challenges that faced by these structures, such as cavitation and high speed of flow during the dissipation energy. The spillway is one key basic elements dams utilized to pass huge volumes discharge. current work used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerically estimate water surface pressure distribution over stepped traditional spillways. numerical findings were compared...

Fault diagnosis systems (FDSs) are tools designed to detect, isolate, identify, and, possibly, mitigate the occurrence of faults affecting complex systems. This paper aims to use fuzzy logic fault diagnosis for clustering the faults. Fuzzy logic system has an advantage of inbuilt cluster identification which doesn’t supported by any other FDSs. By this inbuilt clustering the identification of f...

Recently, particular attention has been paid to the stepped spillways due to the increasing effect of energy dissipation and the reduction of cavitations risks with the development of Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) technique. Flow regimes on the spillways divide into three groups, namely skimming, jet and transition flow. Compared to the numerical methods, the majority of performed studies in ...
