Abstract/Contents: | "Grass channel linings interact with the flow in such a way as to make the flow resistance vary with flow conditions. For uniformly vegetated channels such as grassed waterways, the traditional approach for managing this variation in computations has been to express Manning's n for the channel as a function of the product of mean velocity and hydraulic radius (n-VR), or Reynold's number. The extent to which this approach could be applied to the computation of composite roughness in channels only partially lined with vegetation, or where vegetal conditions vary sharply within the cross-section, has not been clear. Therefore, tests were conducted to determine the appropriate procedure for computing the composite roughness of these channels. It was found that the traditional n-VR curves could be applied consistently in combination with linear averaging of the wetted perimeter weighted roughness within the cross-section." |
