Abstract: This paper presents the results of a laboratory study on the characteristics of fully developed skimming flow in a large model of a stepped spillway for two slopes, for a range of discharges with

Abstract: This technical note presents a method to estimate the energy loss on stepped spillways for the jet‐flow regime, which occurs when the ratio of the critical depth

Abstract: Assuming that skimming flow occurs when the jet leaving a step has a slope equal to that of the stepped spillway when it impinges on the pool behind it on the next step, an equation has been developed to predict the incipient ...

Abstract: This technical note is an experimental contribution to the study of the supercritical flow at drops. The experimental setup is arranged to measure flow characteristics, which include velocity profiles and several lengths. ...
