Induced aeration flow over stepped spillways: mean pressures, air entrainment and flow behavior

ABSTRACT Stepped spillways can dissipate a great amount of energy during the flow passage over the chute, however these structures have limited operation due to the risk of cavitation damage. The induced aeration may protect the concrete chute through the air concentration near the channel bottom. F...
