The present study aimed to investigate and compare the laboratory results of energy dissipation and length of vertical Drops equipped with horizontal Screens with the results of standard stilling basins of type one, two, three and four simple vertical Drops. For this purpose, 64 different experiments were performed on vertical Drops equipped with a horizontal Screen at relative distances of 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 from the edge of Drops, with a porosity of 40 and 50% of the Screen and a height of 20 cm .The results showed that in all experiments and at a constant flow, increasing the distance of the Screen from the edge of Drops does not have much affect the energy dissipation of the current. On average, the downstream energy dissipation for the present study has increased by more than 20% compared to the simple vertical Drop, which can be an excellent alternative to the downstream stilling basin. Among the models of the present study, the most significant reduction in the relative length of the Drops was achieved by the vertical Drops model with a horizontal Screen with a relative distance of 0.75. On average, when using horizontal Screen at four relative distances from the edge of Drops, the relative length of the Drops is reduced by more than 73% compared to the vertical Drops equipped with a standard stilling basin.
