Analysis and Comparison on Typical Methods for Predicting Composite Roughness of River

Article Preview

Abstract:

Composite roughness is an important parameter in river hydraulic calculations. In this paper, various typical methods for predicting composite roughness of river were summarized, including Einstein Method, Lotter Method, JIANG Method and Weighted Average Method, their theoretical rigors were discussed from both perspectives of minimum energy dissipation principle and analytical analysis, and their calculation precisions were verified by a large number of flume test data. Research shows that Einstein Method complies with the principle of minimum energy dissipation, also is the necessary and sufficient condition of resistance equation having unique solution, and its calculation precision is higher, therefore, Einstein Method is more suitable for composite resistance calculation of river with single cross section.
