The Ogee Spillway is one of the most crucial flood control structures, and it developed at same time as dams. Spillway's downstream portions experience scouring due to flow, a problem that persists in reality. This paper aims investigate hydraulic performance stepped block dissipater using three-dimensional simulation model. dissipated was given new distribution may be one, two, or three rows t...

Characteristics and behavior of the flow in hydraulic structures, a complex phenomenon that isimperative to use software that will beto be study.Gabiony stepped spillway is a simple hydraulicstructures to control erosion downstream of dams, and, depreciation of structures is used. Roughstairway consisting of overflow from the stairs near the crest of the weir is started and continues tohave a l...

Air–water flows at hydraulic structures are commonly observed and called white waters. The free-surface aeration is characterised by some intense exchanges of air and water leading to complex air–water structures including some clustering. The number and properties of clusters may provide some measure of the level of particle-turbulence and particle–particle interactions in the high-velocity ai...

Current weather indifferent fields of science and engineering research purposes and different applications are studied. One of the applications of climate studies, the study of the flow over the weir dam and lower exhaust tunnel is aimed at preventing the risk of cavitations. Aeration is known as one of the most economical and practical way to deal with cavitations on rapid spill ways. In the s...

The Karahnjukar dam spillway is the spillway for the Halslon reservoir, the main reservoir for the 690 MW Karahnjukar Hydroelectric Project in East Iceland. The spillway consist of a 140 m long overflowing weir with a capacity of 2250 m3/s which discharges into a side channel, followed by a 450 m long chute. The chute terminates at a canyon edge where the jet drops some 100 m into a narrow gorg...

Over the past decades, significant advances have been achieved in hydraulic structures for dams, namely water release such as spillway weirs, chutes, and energy dissipators. This editorial presents a brief overview of eleven papers this Special Issue, Advances Spillway Hydraulics: From Theory to Practice, frames them current research trends. Issue explores following topics: inlet structures, tr...

In this study, experimental procedure and laboratory works have been conducted to investigate the energy loss rate on stepped spillway, using inclined steps together with end sill. To have a more elucidated investigation inclined steps with different slopes (Horizontal , 7, 10, and 12 degrees with respect to the horizon) and end sill with different thicknesses (5 and 10 mm) and heights (6, 8, 1...
