Notes
- Note on the program
The channel is assumed to be rectangular, with the vertical sidewalls having the same roughness as the bed.
Depth is computed according to the relation for momentum balance in the bed region using equation 26 applicable to normal (steady, streamwise uniform) flow. Flow resistance on the bed region is computed using a Manning-Strickler resistance relation.
Equation 29, 30 is solved iteratively for H in the code. Once H is known, the shear velocity u∗ is computed from equation 26, and the calculation proceeds using the same algorithm as “Acronym1”. It is implicitly assumed in the calculation that all of the boundary shear stress consists of skin friction, with form drag neglected.
