Reynolds Stress and Bed Shear in Nonuniform Unsteady Open-Channel Flow
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 131, Issue 7
Abstract
Expressions for the Reynolds stress and bed shear stress are developed for nonuniform unsteady flow in open channels with streamwise sloping beds, assuming universal (logarithmic) velocity distribution law and using the Reynolds and continuity equations of two-dimensional open-channel flow. The computed Reynolds stress distributions are in agreement with experimental data.
