Slope effects on hydraulic characteristics and energy dissipation of stepped spillways with trapezoidal piers
Stepped spillways provide excellent energy dissipation, which can considerably reduce the size of downstream stilling basins. Previous research has confirmed that installing roughness elements on stepped surfaces can further improve energy dissipation efficiency, which is highly sensitive to the chute slope and the geo...
