A spillway with Trapezoidal Labyrinth Shaped steps (TLS) is proposed and investigated
numerically. The results show that this spillway has better performance as it increases the …

Spillways are essential parts of dams, in which the main task of these structures is to allow
the passing of excess water and floods from the upstream to the downstream. In this regards …

The labyrinth spillway continues to be a popular type of the control structures. The focus of
the present study is that on the optimization of the shape of the labyrinth spillway through the …

Important water structures known as stepped spillways are used to dissipate energy, aerate
rivers, and reduce the cost of the downstream pool. The aim of this study is to increase the …

In this study, the support vector machine (SVM) technique was applied to predict the head
loss of flow on the cascade weirs. To this end, related data-set was collected in the literature …

In this study, numbers type of soft computing including artificial neural network (ANN),
support vector machine (SVM), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), and group …

This work presents numerical simulations carried out to study the influence of geometric
characteristics of pooled steps on the energy dissipation performance, flow patterns …

Due to the importance of channel flow characteristics in the water conveyance, the study of it
is a noteworthy problem for hydraulics experts and much attempts has been accomplished …

Stepped spillways are water structures that have attracted researchers' attention recently.
There are many studies on the flow characteristics of different step geometry. In this study …

This paper studies the effects of different types and configurations of double layer vegetation
on the flow of open channels. The vegetation is simulated through cylindrical dowels with a …
