One of the most frequently encountered cases of rapid varied flow is the hydraulic jump. Stilling basins are used to dissipate the excess kinetic energy of flow to ensure the safety of overflow spillway, chutes, sluices, pipe outlets etc. in this study the topic of block in stilling basins is investigation in a general approach and it’s effect on energy dissipation and downstream scouring are analyzed. In the present research, the energy dissipation and scouring phenomenon were studied in different hydraulic and geometric conditions. Moreover, the present paper was focused on the effect of presence of blocks as an effective parameter on energy dissipation on stilling basin performance. To analyze and assessment of formed hydraulic jump in the stilling basins, the experimental data of many recent researches were achieved and compared. It was concluded that presence of blocks has significant effect on energy dissipation from 1% to 34%. It is also shown that with increasing the Fr Number, the secondary depth increases and the using a rough bed causes reducing the secondary depth between 18% to 37% in comparison with smooth one. Moreover, installing a rough bed also reduced the length of hydraulic jump between 27% to 67%. Using block in the stilling basins, reduces the scouring depth from USBR standard recommendation. Finally, it was concluded that using blocks increased the efficiency of the stilling basin performance.
