Abstract: V-shaped stepped spillway is a new type of stepped spillways, which has distinguished three-dimensional flow program and greater aerated characteristic. In this paper, the flow characteristics of V-shaped stepped spillway are systematically studied, including the flow pattern, velocity vectors, pressure distribution on step surfaces and energy dissipation rates by physical and numerical models. And through comparing with traditional stepped spillway, the unique flow field is analyzed. These results are useful when choosing V-shaped stepped spillway to use
