the manning roughness coefficient is an important parameter in the design and evaluation of furrow irrigation. despite its importance, estimation of this parameter for surface irrigation is very difficult, particularly in furrow irrigation. in this study, an evalue model was used to estimate the manning roughness coefficient in furrow irrigation. the model was based on volume balance and develo...

there are different methods for controling the flood damages which one of them is flood zoning. in this method, flood zones are determined by simulating river hydraulic behavior and its flood plain for different return periods.in other hand, soil and specially plant coverage are the most effective factor to determine manning roughness coefficient. so it is expected, seasonal plant coverage chan...

abstract in all river engineering projects, determination of flow resistance is essential. most commonly, the manning roughness coefficient, , is used to describe the flow resistance or relative roughness of main channel or flood plane. over the past decades little or no study has been conducted to investigate the effects of particle shapes on manning roughness coefficient. therefore, it is the...

[1] We apply the Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model to simulate the Hurricane Ike storm surge using two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) formulations. The high resolution, unstructured grid extends over the Gulf of Mexico with open boundaries in the Straits of Florida and the Yucatan Channel. With the same wind and pressure forcing, the bottom drag coefficients for the baseline 2-D ...

introduction: due to sensitiveness of flow to roughness coefficient (rc), selection of this coefficient is important in earth canals designing purposes. precision selection of this coefficient is necessary for design and operation of earthen canals purposes. overestimation of the actual amount of this coefficient will cause an underestimation for flow velocity. accordingly, sedimentation in the...
