Predictive model for stage-discharge curve in compound channels with vegetated floodplains

Method for assessing discharge in meandering compound channels

“…Darby and Thorne (1996) and Liu et al (2014b) proposed simplified versions of the flow momentum and continuity equations for the lateral distribution of the local unit discharge (q = ∫ 0 H U dz) in a vegetated straight compound channel. As such, Equation 2 is integrated over the flow depth, and Equation 3 is obtained as 3:…”
