A stepped spillway is designed with steps along the chute to help dissipate flow energy, reduce downstream erosion, and improve overall discharge safety, especially in hilly agricultural regions, where managing high-velocity runoff is critical.
In this CFD study, we model the stepped spillway flow using fundamental fluid dynamics principles, focusing on:
✅ Velocity and pressure distribution along the chute
✅ Turbulence and recirculation zones near each step
✅ Free-surface flow behavior and flow depth variation
✅ Energy dissipation performance and hydraulic efficiency
These insights help support safer, more efficient spillway design and enable data-driven improvements for water infrastructure in challenging terrains.
