An Analytical Model for the Distributions of Velocity and Discharge in Compound Channels with Submerged Vegetation.

Based on the momentum transfer theory, an analytical model is proposed for the velocity and discharge distributions in compound channels with submerged vegetation on the floodplain. The partially vegetated channel was divided into three sub-regions, i.e. the main channel region, the floodplain regio...
