This paper presents the state-of-the-art on methods to estimate rock scour due to the
impingement of plunging high velocity water jets. The following topics are addressed …

The need for a comprehensive book on spillways and energy dissipators has been
increasing for a long time. This book explores all aspects of spillways and energy dissipators …

Hydraulic engineering of dams and their appurtenant structures counts among the essential
tasks to successfully design safe water-retaining reservoirs for hydroelectric power …

The catastrophic failure of the spillway chute at Oroville Dam in February 2017 raised
concerns throughout the water resources industry regarding design, construction, and …

Pressure fluctuations are a key issue in hydraulic engineering. However, despite the large
number of studies on the topic, their role in spatial hydraulic jumps is not yet fully …

SOMMAIRE L'analyse experimental des structures statistiques de fluctuation turbulente au
fond des ressauts hydrauliques par-dessus des marches negatives, est exposée. L'attention …

This paper presents an analysis of the pressure field on the steps of a stepped spillway on
an RCC dam. The fundamental component of this study is a series of pressure …

The dissipation of energy of flood discharges from water releasing structures of dams is
often done by plunging jets diffusing in water and impacting on the riverbed downstream …

Fluvial entrainment of fractured rock assessed in terms of bed shear stress, stream power,
and time-averaged bed uplift pressures indicates that rock-block stability reduces with …

Stilling basins dissipate energy to form hydraulic jumps and rotational flows. Hydraulic jump
and rotational current phenomenon produce pressure fluctuation at the bottom of stilling …
