| Title | Estimating Local Bed Shear Stress in Large Gravel-bed Rivers |
| Creator | Wilcock, Peter barta, A. F. Shea, C. C. |
| Description | Replicate velocity observations using conventional equipment under typical field conditions are used to evaluate the precision of different methods for estimating local boundary shear stress from velocity measurements. The bed shear velocity u, can be estimated within 3% using the depth-averaged velocity in the vertically averaged logarithmic velocity profile. To be accurate, this method is limited to relatively simple flow geometries which may be expected to have the appropriate velocity... |
