Abstract: Stepped waterways are commonly used as river training, debris dam structures, storm water systems, and aeration cascades. The present study was focused on analysis of basic air–water flow properties on a low gradient stepped ...

Abstract: For the last three decades, research focused on steep stepped chutes. Few studies considered flat-slope stepped geometries such as stepped storm waterways or culverts. In this study, experiments were conducted in a large, ...

Abstract: Turbulent water jets discharging into the atmosphere are often characterized by a substantial amount of free-surface aeration. The effects can be detrimental or beneficial. In any case, the ...
