Velocity Distribution in Rough Turbulent Flow Formula

Average Velocity in Vertical = 5.75*Shear Velocity*log10(30*Height above Bed/Equivalent Sand-Grain Roughness)
v = 5.75*vshear*log10(30*y/ks)

What is Shear Velocity?

Shear Velocity, also called friction velocity, is a form by which a shear stress may be re-written in units of velocity. It is useful as a method in fluid mechanics to compare true velocities, such as the velocity of a flow in a stream, to a velocity that relates shear between layers of flow.

What is Stream Velocity?

Stream Velocity is important because of its impact on water quality and the living organisms and habitats in the stream. Stream Velocity increases as the volume of the water in the stream increases, determining the kinds of organisms that can live in the stream (some need fast-flowing areas; others need quiet pools).
