Distribution of shear stress in smooth rectangular open channel

The study of shear stress distribution is an important element in most hydraulic design field. A knowledge of the shear stress distribution helps in understanding of the mechanics flows and also solving certain problems such as sediment transportation and design of stable channels. The objective of...
