A Generalized Log-Law Formulation For a Wide Range of Boundary Roughness Conditions Encountered in Streams

It is demonstrated that the method for locating a velocity profile origin, or plane of zero velocity, by fitting log profiles to streamwise velocity measurements is applicable to a larger range of roughness scales than previously expected. Five different sets of detailed, experimental velocity measu...
