Laboratory study on baffled apron as an integral part of an energy dissipator system

High water velocity can cause bad Impacts such as erosion, scour, sedimentation and cavitations around spillway toe, weir bed and downstream of river. In order to overcome these problems, the flow velocity has to be reduced. This can be done through constructing an energy dissipating structure at th...
