Abstract: Hydraulic structures such as spillways, stilling basins, pressurized bottom outlets, etc. are exerted by high hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces. Flow and bottom relations are important for their stability. One of the most important threats against their stability is the uncertainty at the bottom, which comes from slab junctions. Main flow over the slabs and water into the gap between the slabs interaction investigated in the presented study. Gap width, flow conditions taking into consideration, and main flow to gap relation observed with PIV measurements near the bottom over/in gap. Vortex formation between the holes was determined, and its effects were discussed.
