Abstract

RESULTS of model tests are presented for three energy dissipators used for storm drain outlets. The limiting discharges were determined for various sized models of stilling wells, u.S. Bureau of reclamation type vi basins, and st. Anthony falls stilling basins. Charts were prepared for each type of energy dissipator and show the maximum recommended discharge that will result in good performance for given outlet diameters and structure widths in terms of the outlet diameter. With these charts and other known parameters, the designer can select the type of dissipator best suited to protect the outlet. /author/
