Erosion at either dam or spillway foundations, destabilization in riverbanks, and damage the natural environment located downstream of dams spillways represent crucial elements to be taken into account risk assessment hydraulic structures. One main problems is related scouring that water flow may induce boundary spillways. This issue exacerbated case undersized stilling basins, i.e., when a sig...

Background: Hydraulic jump is considered the most appropriate option for designers to dissipate energy through stilling basins. Methods: Tests on a screen that produced submerged hydraulic were conducted of water passing beneath vertical gate. Various positions in sudden expanding basin investigated. In comparison no-screen case, effect downstream gate surface profile was also Results: The best...
