Abstract: Stilling basins of trapezoidal cross section are characterised by various ad-vantages in terms of hydraulic performance and construction when campared to the conventional rectangular stilling basin. First, the flow pattern of the hy-draulic jump in the trapezoidal channel is described. Second, an attempt is made to specify design recommendations for trapezoidal stilling basins. Finally it is outlined that trapezoidal stilling basins should be considered as suitab-le for future design.
