An ogee spillway is a commonly used overflow crest shape for dams and spillways, designed to match the lower nappe profile of a prismatic structure under free-flowing conditions. Its curved profile minimizes flow separation and energy losses, providing efficient discharge and predictable hydraulic performance for overtopping flows.
