| Abstract: | Reliable estimates of discharge capacity are essential for the design, operation, and
maintenance of open channels, more importantly for the prediction of flood, water
level management, and flood protection measures. In nature, most rivers tend to be
of compound sections as well as meandering. For the management of rivers and
floodplains, it is important to understand the behavior of flows within compound
channels. Cross sections of these compound channels are generally characterized
by deep main channel bounded by relatively shallow flood plains at one or both
sides. At low depths when the flow is only in the main channel, conventional methods
are generally used to assess discharge capacity. When the flow goes over bank, the
classical single channel formula gives large error between the estimated and the
observed discharge. Standard sub-division and composite roughness methods given
in Chow (1959) are essentially flawed when applied to compound channels. The
discharge calc... |
