The aim of the current research is to investigate the effect of geometry and different angles (180 degrees, 150 degrees, 120 degrees and 90 degrees) of the edge of a vertical drop with a height of 0.15 m with and without a vertical screen on energy dissipation. The finding showed that the triangulation plane forms a vertical drop at different angles of 180 degrees, 150 degrees, 120 degrees and 90 degrees without a screen that increases the energy dissipation of the drop, which is highest at an angle of 90 degrees, by 50.5%. In the vertical drop with a screen, reducing the angle also leads to a decrease in energy dissipation, so the highest energy dissipation occurs at an angle of 180 degrees with a 45.2% increase in energy dissipation compared to the vertical drop without a screen. The relative depth of the edge and the relative depth of the vertical drop pool of the triangular plane are different at the angle vertex and its wings, in such a way that the relative depth of the edge at the vertex is less than the wings and the relative depth of the pool at the vertex is greater than the wings.
