摘要
This technical note presents a method to estimate the energy loss on stepped spillways for the jet-flow regime, which occurs when the ratio of the critical depth y(c) to the height of the step h is less than approximately 0.8. It introduces the concept of alpha, the proportional energy loss per step, and using the extensive experimental results of Horner, a was evaluated. It was found that a is a function of y(c)/h and h/l, where l is the length of the step; and an equation has been developed that describes this variation. It was also found that the energy loss on a stepped spillway with a large number of steps can be very significant in the jet-flow regime. It also appears that for skimming flow, which occurs for y(c)/h larger than about 0.8, the average energy loss per step would be less than that for jet flow.
