Stepped Spillway as an Energy Dissipater by Chatila, Jean G.

“…One smooth model was used as a benchmark for comparison with stepped models made out of a combination of crests and bottoms of different step heights. Significant reductions in terminal velocities and total energies were observed, where the stepped spillway profiles tested proved to be very effective in terms of energy dissipation for flows of the order of the design head or lower. …”
