Description :
On the basis of experimental results, this paper aims to establish the relationship between a channel shape factor and channel two-dimensional shear stress, and then to investigate the relationship's applicability to both stable canals and natural rivers. 529 observations in the U.K. and the U.S.A. have been analysed. This study also investigates the effects of channel roughness, channel slope and the sediment composition of the channel perimeter on hydraulic geometry.
