Interactions of boundary shear stress, velocity distribution and flow resistance in 3-D open channel
This study presents an analytical approach for the computation of the boundary shear stress distribution, velocity distribution and flow resistance in steady, uniform and fully developed turbulent flow in open channels. The approach, inspired by the idea first propounded by Einstein (1942), enabled...

| Summary: | This study presents an analytical approach for the computation of the boundary shear stress distribution, velocity distribution and flow resistance in steady, uniform and fully developed turbulent flow in open channels. The approach, inspired by the idea first propounded by Einstein (1942), enabled an assessment of the differential contribution of the main flow towards the shear stress distribution acting on the side wall and channel bed of the wetted perimeter. |
