Abstract: The mean velocity profile and friction factor in turbulent flows with polymer additives are investigated using Prandtl’s mixing-length theorem. This study reveals that the mixing-length theorem ...

Abstract: The aim of the present study is to develop a formula for the relationship between flow strength and sediment discharge. The appropriate definition of energy dissipation rate

Abstract: Turbulent momentum and velocity always have the greatest gradient along wall-normal direction in straight channel flows; this has led to the hypothesis that surplus energy within any control volume in a three-dimensional ...

Abstract: Sediment transport is a geophysical phenomenon in which sediment particles are driven to move in streamwise and vertical directions by various forces. Almost all existing formulas of sediment transport were derived without ...

Abstract: A user-friendly total bed-material load transport formula for flow in alluvial channels under equilibrium transport conditions has been developed based on dimensional analysis. The main advantages of this formula are its ...

Abstract: A method for computing three-dimensional Reynolds shear stresses and boundary shear stress distribution in smooth rectangular channels is developed by applying an order of magnitude analysis to integrate the Reynolds ...
