An Analytical Model for Sub grid Force-Equilibrium Approach in Submerged Vegetative Channel
Abstract: A new, analytical model of the vertical flow velocity profile of submerged vegetation has been developed. Velocity profile can be divided into three zones: linear zone which is closed to bed with linear velocitydistribution, logarithmic zone which involves the main channel without vegetative cover and the middle zone (transition zone) that is affected by the momentum of upper zone. For the surface layer, Prandtl’s mixing lengthconcept is adopted resulting in …
