Abstract: This paper presents a method to predict depth-averaged velocity and bed shear stress for overbank flows in straight rectangular two-stage channels. An analytical solution to the depth-integrated Navier–Stokes equation is ...

Abstract: Some laboratory sediment-transport experiments are described in which a compound channel with a mobile-bed composed of uniform sand with a

Abstract: The Shiono and Knight method (SKM) offers a new approach to calculating the lateral distributions of depth-averaged velocity and boundary shear stress for flows in straight prismatic channels. It accounts for bed shear, ...

Abstract: Flow resistance in open channels is usually estimated by applying the approach that is developed originally for pipe flows. Such estimates may be useful for engineering applications but always differ from measurements to ...

Abstract: The mean velocity distribution of open channel flows with fully submerged two-layered vegetation can be divided into three zones. Zone 1 represents the lower region of short vegetation, where the flow has high drag because ...
