Abstract: The effect of Reynolds number and Froude number on the friction factor is studied for supercritical turbulent flow in smooth rectangular open channels. The values of Froude numbers for various aspect ratios, beyond which ...

Abstract: Velocity distribution in a smooth rectangular channel is studied by dividing the channel into four regions. Region, 1 comprises of the inner region of the bed and the outer region of the side wall. Region 2 belongs to the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a generalized version of the binary velocity distribution law, which combines the logarithmic law of the inner region with the parabolic law of the outer region. This combination is extended for cases ...
