The test was designed in the presence of diffusion and stilling basin respectively under five working conditions. According to the test results and engineering practice, suggestions to optimize the outlet shape were put forward and further tested. Finally the optimum scheme was determined. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.3969/j.issn.1001-5485.2015.04.007
