Numerical simulation of an optimal channel cross-section

The objective of this study was to develop a numerical model which predicts the geometry of an optimal straight stable channel for a given set of conditions: (1) the submerged coefficient of static friction of the channel bed material, (2) lift-to drag ratio, (3) grain size of the bed material, (4)...
