Abstract
Morning glory spillway is one of the spillways that used to passing of flood from high to low level. This spillway is used in the reservoir dams that are placed in narrow valleys and in many locations with high slope in reservoir walls. In the Morning glory spillways, the vortex flow can reduce discharge, discharge coefficient and the performance of spillway. The zigzag spillway, as another type, is introduced as a proper option for compensating the problem of passing maximum possible flow rate, usually encountered by spillways. In the present study, the experimental results of a physical model were used to develop a hydraulic design with squire and circle inlet and analysis method for Labyrinth Morning Glory Spillway. The analysis of experimental data in circle and square inlet showed, that increase in length of spillway and zigzag, causes decrease in the discharge coefficient. Finally the result of effect spillway inlet on flow rate demonstrate that discharge coefficient in square inlet is more than circle, whereas without vortex breaker.
