Velocity-Distributions in Straight Rectangular Channels

摘要

Experimental data for velocity-distributions in turbulent flow in straight rectangular channels with varying width-depth ratios and boundary roughnesses were collected from various sources and analyzed in an attempt to produce a generalized velocity-distrubution for this type of channel flow. Dimensional analysis is applied in search for possible parameters to generalize the velocity-distributions in the outer-law region where viscosity plays no role in determining the flow pattern.
