Stilling basins utili z ing a hydraulic jump for energy dissipation are w i d e l y used in hydraulic engineering. D a Vinci was the first to describe the hydraulic jump, and Bidone conducted classical experiments about 170 years ago. Stilling basins w e r e developed in the thirties with signif- cant design improvements being made during the last sixty years. Although w e l l - a c c e p t e d guidelines for a successful design are presently available, the information for the design of such dissipators is not yet compiled in book form. This book provides state-of-the-art information on hydraulic jumps and associat ed stilling basins. A large numbe r of papers on the to pics are reviewed. T h e present trends of the art of designing a stilli ng basin are discussed and ideas for future research are outlined. Design criteria and recommendat ions are frequently given. However, this should not be considered as a r eady-to -use guideline since the design of an effective stilling basin is much more comple x than following general design steps. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1 on hydraulic jumps is c- prised of chapters 2 to 5. Part 2 consisting of chapters 6 to 14 deals with various hydraulic structures used to dissipate energy. The lists of notation and references are provided in each part separately although the same notation is u sed throughout.
