In this work, a numerical analysis of the flow over a stepped spillway is performed. The free surface flow is described by the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equation (RANS) coupled to k-ε model. These equations are solved using a commercial software based on the finite volume scheme and the VOF method. We analyzed the influence of the steps shape and water flow rate on velocity, turbulence dissipation rate and pressure distributions. In this, we found that the maximum values of the static pressure and the turbulence dissipation rate increase as the discharge increases and the main flow velocity is greater than the one of the secondary flow.
