Abstract: Flume studies were conducted in which riprap-protected embankments were subjected to overtopping flows to determine the average interstitial velocity of the through-flow. Velocity measurements were made in riprap having ...

Abstract: Plunging jets from overtopping dams have the potential to erode dam foundations and abutments. The erosive potential of the jet is related to the energy of impact and the rate of energy dissipation in the plunge pool. A ...
