Original Abstract

Stepped chutes have been constructed on several water structures in the Czech Republic. The main advantage of these structures is large energy dissipation which results in smaller dimensions of stilling basin downstream. The main disadvantage is flow bulking caused by aeration and therefore the necessity to propose higher side walls of the chute. Very important task here is to find the location of inception point where the aeration of flow starts. Within a framework of hydraulic research on stepped chutes performed in Brno University of Technology a location of inception point on two low gradient steeped chutes was investigated. The paper summarizes results from this research.
