A simple model is proposed for predicting the dimensionless isovel contours in straight ducts and open channels. It is assumed that each element of the boundary influences the velocity at an arbitrary point in the cross ...

A new technique for drawing isovel patterns in an open or closed channel is presented. It is assumed that the velocity at each arbitrary point in the conduit is affected by the hydraulic characteristics of the boundary. ...

Six methods for the computation of the boundary shear stress distribution, and the mean bed and wall shear stresses in prismatic open channel flows are compared against laboratory data. The comparisons indicate that the widely used Vertical Depth...

The fluid flow system can be described by an equivalent electromagnetic system. In this paper a successful application of the Biot–Savart law in hydraulics is presented. Similarity between the magnetic field of a current ...

Abstract

The single-point measurement method for discharge estimation, which was first introduced by Maghrebi, can be implemented to obtain the

discharge at different stages of a river during a flood event. ...
