Closure to 'Depth-Averaged Shear Stress and Velocity in Open-Channel Flows' by Shu-Qing Yang

摘要

The writer would like to thank the discussers for their valuable comments. Two prominent researchers have done substantial and influential work in this area. The work of Knight and Sterling (2000) was not compared with the derived equation of boundary shear stress distribution because of the length requirement of the original paper. The article was initially submitted as a full-length paper, but it was requested that it be a technical note, so all comparisons of boundary shear stress distribution were removed. The writer agrees with the discussers that the discrepancy shown in Figs.
