Roughness coefficients for stream channels in Arizona
B. N. Aldridge, J.M. Garrett
1973, Open-File Report 73-3
When water flows in an open channel, energy is lost through friction along the banks and bed of the channel and through turbulence within the channel. The amount of energy lost is governed by channel roughness, which is expressed in terms of a roughness coefficient. An evaluation of the roughness...
