Abstract

The measurements of flow over non-uniform gravel open channel have been conducted with Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV). The experimental results indicate that the distribution of mean velocity agrees well with the Nikuradse's law. From the distributions of resistance coefficient, reference level and turbulence intensity, the classification of small scale roughness case is obtained.
