Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) is a new and viable construction material for concrete gravity dams. It is gaining popularity due to its low cost and fast deployment. The design of a stilling basin, part of a dam that controls the hydraulic jump and dissipates energy, is crucial. One of the important considerations is the Froude number at the spillway toe (F1), which determines the type of hydraulic jump that will occur. An energy dissipator is also required to prevent scour caused by the change in flow conditions from supercritical to subcritical. Double sills installed downstream of the steep chute way channel can be used as an energy dissipator. This study uses hydraulic modeling to evaluate the flow energy reduction and subcritical flow conditions in a stilling basin with double sills. The investigation is expected to provide better information on hydraulic jump control. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
