Abstract

A quasi-theoretical analysis has been given for the flow retardance in vegetated channels. Based on this, a logarithmic flow formula has been derived for flow in these channels. The analysis has been illustrated with flow data obtained from channels in which natural vegetation was present and from a laboratory flume having flexible artificial roughness elements fixed to the bottom.
