Determination of the manning coefficient from measured bed roughness in natural channels
John Thomas Limerinos
1970, Water Supply Paper 1898-B
This report presents the results of a study to test the hypothesis that basic values of the Manning roughness coefficient of stream channels may be related to (1) some characteristic size of the streambed particles and to (2) the distribution of particle size. These two elements involving particle size can...
