“…Labyrinth and piano key spillways can be combined with the stepped spillway and provide the possibility of passing a large flow through a small width and depth compared to classic spillways [11,12].…”

“…The results showed that the creation of a labyrinth shape in the steps of stepped spillways increases the amount of energy dissipation at the end of the spillway (the last step). The combination of stepped and labyrinth spillways, as a very strong energy dissipater, was examined experimentally by Banishoiab et al [12]. Results showed a greater energy loss reduction in triangular rather than rectangular or trapezoidal labyrinth-shape stepped spillways.…”

By creating an artificial rough bed, stepped spillways increase energy dissipation during the spillway and reduce the risk of cavitation and the dimensions of the stilling basin. Combining stepped spillways with labyrinth spillways in order to improve their performance can be an attractive idea. Therefore, in this research, the hydraulic characteristics of the flow, the amount of energy dissipation and the residual energy of the flow downstream of the stepped spillway with a circular labyrinth configuration, with different numbers of cycles, were compared with the conventional stepped spillway. Validation of the numerical model was done using the results of the physical model. Four three-dimensional configurations of stepped spillway including: conventional stepped, two-, three-, and four-cycle circular labyrinth were modeled using OpenFOAM open source for the skimming flow regime. In order to simulate the flow, InterFOAM solver and RNG K  − turbulence model were used. The results of the numerical model showed that the combination of the labyrinth spillway with the stepped spillway causes an increase of 7.4, 28 and 18.3 percent of energy dissipation in circular forms of two, three and four cycles compared to its conventional type for a constant discharge and yc/h=1.68. Therefore, among the circular labyrinth configurations, the three-cycle form (3CSS) has the highest dissipation rate. In addition, in the three-cycle circular labyrinth configuration, compared to other conventional and labyrinth configurations, it has resulted in less negative pressure in the upper half of the vertical face of the steps.

By creating an artificial rough bed, stepped spillways increase energy dissipation during the spillway and reduce the risk of cavitation and the dimensions of the stilling basin. Combining stepped spillways with labyrinth spillways in order to improve their performance can be an attractive idea. Therefore, in this research, the hydraulic characteristics of the flow, the amount of energy dissipation and the residual energy of the flow downstream of the stepped spillway with a circular labyrinth configuration, with different numbers of cycles, were compared with the conventional stepped spillway. Validation of the numerical model was done using the results of the physical model. Four three-dimensional configurations of stepped spillway including: conventional stepped, two-, three-, and four-cycle circular labyrinth were modeled using OpenFOAM open source for the skimming flow regime. In order to simulate the flow, InterFOAM solver and \(RNG\;K - \varepsilon\) turbulence model were used. The results of the numerical model showed that the combination of the labyrinth spillway with the stepped spillway causes an increase of 7.4, 28 and 18.3 percent of energy dissipation in circular forms of two, three and four cycles compared to its conventional type for a constant discharge and yc/h = 1.68.
