Excerpt from Design of an Outlet for Box Inlet Drop Spillway

The outlet as designed in the past could more properly be called an apron, with the floor set at the grade of the downstream channel. The water leaves the apron at a high velocity, causing a horizontal whirling action of the water on each side of the channel. These whirls result in severe scour of the dam fill and the stream bed at the end of the apron. Outlets of this type have failed; two typical failures are shown in figure 1.
