<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>Stilling basins with appurtenances can be used effectively in dissipating the excessive
energy downstream of hydraulic structure like spillway, sluices, pipe outlets etc.
Experimental investigation leading to the development of new stilling basin model
design for pipe outlet with different appurtenances is reported in this paper. On the
basis of present study, newly stilling basin design has been compared with USBR VI
model. The new models were tested in a rectangular shaped pipe outlet for three
Froude numbers, namely Fr = 1.85, 2.85, and 3.85 in comparison to USBR VI stilling
basin model recommended for the pipe outlets. The scour pattern was measured for
each test run and flow pattern was also observed. The performance of the basin was
compared by Performance number (PN) as criteria to evaluate the performance of
model, using same sand base material and test run time for all the tested models. After
test runs, it is found that, for a given Froude number range, the performance of new
stilling basin model is improved and also the length of the newly developed basin is
reduced as compared to USBR VI stilling basin for a given flow conditions.</p>
