Abstract

The equation of motion is derived for the steady flow under gravity of a liquid in a uniform channel, including the effects of the friction of the bed and of the eddy viscosity for lateral mixing. The equation is solved to find the distribution of mean velocity across the channel when the cross-section is rectangular, triangular or trapezoidal. Numerical values are also given to indicate the extent to which eddy viscosity may affect the lateral distribution of mean velocity.
