Entropy Wake Law for Streamwise Velocity Profiles in Smooth Rectangular Open Channels

In narrow open channels, the three-dimensional nature of the flow and the transport momentum from the sidewalls to the central region cause the maximum longitudinal velocity to occur below the water surface. The entropy model is unable to accurately describe the velocities near the free surface when...
