Abstract

Baffle blocks are used to dissipate the energy of water flow, which pass under gales or over weirs. In this paper, a fully angle baffled apron of a heading-up structure is experimentally studied. Two arrangements are considered. Baffle's height, flow discharge, and downstream water depth are the considered variables. Obtained results from eighty-one runs are graphically represented to illustrate the effect of the suggested systems. The suggested systems are easy to be added to the existed structures without changing their floors. Present results are compared with previous ones for single and double lines of angle baffles.
